Ingredients

Quantities for 1.

  • a large handful, about 60g Wheatgrasscut fresh; it toughens within a day of cutting

Checked against the ingredient list for ten allergens: milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, mustard, soy and gluten. Brands vary, so read the label on anything new to you.

Method

  1. Rinse the wheatgrass well and shake it dry.
  2. Blend with 80ml cold water until it breaks down completely.
  3. Strain twice through muslin. Wheatgrass fibre is tough and one pass leaves it gritty.
  4. Add the lemon and drink immediately, before it warms.

Storage

Drink at once. Wheatgrass juice loses its flavour and colour within about twenty minutes.

Times, yields, allergens and nutrition are guidance. Use your own judgement on doneness and on storing. More in About.
