How to Make a Wheatgrass Shooter (5 Steps)

Wheatgrass is the intensely flavored, vitamin-rich grass of ordinary wheat. Some claim it has the ability to cleanse the blood and increase energy and stamina. The tender grass can be grown indoors at home; incubation takes between one to two weeks.Wheatgrass shots are expensive (around $3) at juice bars, so if you want the health benefits for just pennies a day, grow your own grass and purchase a juicer (about $30-$45) and you're on your way.

Things You'll Need

  • For a one-ounce shot you'll need:
  • One cup of fresh wheatgrass, chopped
  • Juicer
  • Lemon wedge

Instructions

  1. Chop about one cup of fresh wheatgrass. Rinse it under running water.

  2. Add the wheatgrass slowly to juicer.

  3. Position a shotglass underneath.

  4. Continue adding grass until shotglass is filled, chopping only as much as is needed. Don't add water.

  5. Drink it immediately with a squirt of lemon. For the best results, drink it on an empty stomach once a day.
