Wheatgrass Tips

First time trying wheatgrass juice? Here are some tips:

- Take a shot after having something to eat. Having wheatgrass on an empty stomach can make for an  upset tummy!
- Don't swallow the wheatgrass juice right away. Instead, swish it around your mouth, let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and then swallow it.
- Chase the wheatgrass shot with a small glass of cranberry juice. It can help minimize the aftertaste.
