If you’re looking for a simple way to add a fresh, vibrant lift to your day, wheatgrass is a classic. This bright green “shot” has been a staple in juice bars and wellness routines for years, and for good reason: it’s easy to use, quick to enjoy, and pairs well with all kinds of flavors. At Alphas Produce, we love wheatgrass because it’s versatile, eye-catching, and a smart add-on for anyone who wants to level up their daily produce lineup.
What Is Wheatgrass?
Wheatgrass is the young, tender grass of the wheat plant. It’s harvested before the plant matures, when the blades are at their peak color and freshness. While you wouldn’t sit down and chew a bowl of it like salad greens, wheatgrass shines when it’s juiced or blended into small amounts with other ingredients.
Why Wheatgrass Is So Popular
Wheatgrass has a bold “green” taste—fresh, earthy, and slightly sweet. People love it because it’s concentrated and convenient, especially when juiced into a quick shot. It’s also a fun way to bring variety into smoothies and fresh juice blends without needing a long ingredient list.
How to Use Wheatgrass at Home
1) The classic wheatgrass shot
Juice a small bundle and enjoy it as a quick shot. If you’re new to wheatgrass, start small—its flavor is powerful.
2) Blend it into smoothies
Add a small amount of wheatgrass juice (or a small portion of wheatgrass) to smoothies with pineapple, mango, banana, or apple to balance the earthy notes.
3) Add it to fresh juices
Wheatgrass pairs nicely with:
- Apple + lemon
- Cucumber + celery
- Pineapple + ginger
- Orange + lime
4) Make it a “green booster”
Already have a favorite juice or smoothie? Wheatgrass can be your extra boost—just add a little to your regular routine.
Flavor Tips: Make Wheatgrass Taste Even Better
- Citrus brightens it up: Lemon or lime can make wheatgrass taste cleaner and lighter.
