I'll never forget the first time I took a wheatgrass shot. I must have been around 17 years old and keep in mind I was the Junk food Queen. My friend took me to a smoothie shop that sold wheatgrass shots and bought one for both of us. I was really hesitant to take it, but figured I was there might as well. We counted, 1…2…3, and chugged 2 ounces of grass. I thought I was going to spit it out the moment it touched my tongue, but thankfully I just let it slide down my throat. I remember thinking "Who in the world would take this on a daily basis? Yuck!"
Flash Forward 7 years : These days I try and take a shot of Organic wheatgrass every morning I possibly can and I take them like a champ. When you know what and why something is good for you, I promise, everything seems tastier. Remember, taking shots should be a part of your everyday life, shots of wheatgrass that is. Keep it Classy America. Here are some health Benefits of Wheatgrass and why you should be taking shots of O R G A N I C W H E A T G R A S S…

The best way to take Shots of wheatgrass would be to grow it in your home and juice it yourself, but we all know that isn’t realistic. Many organic Stores will actually juice it for you for maybe $2-$3 a shot. You can also buy it in a powder form or already in a shot form but frozen, just need to defrost and drink!
If you can get them fresh then stick to that, but if not do the second best option for yourself. Remember to not let it sit and be exposed to air for too long because like anything, will start to oxidize the moment its exposed to air and lose vitamins.
Oh one more thing! if you're not a person who eats healthy on a daily basis, start slow with wheatgrass. In just two ounces you're getting an enormous amounts of vitamins and I've heard stories of people feeling sick or nauseated because its too many vitamins at once. Try taking really small amounts and working your way up!
