Wheat grass is my caffeine

As you know I usually add Amazing Grass Wheat Grass powder to my green smoothies. I admit, when I don't drink a green smoothie, I don't drink my wheat grass. Lately, I've been consuming daily protein shakes and drinking my green smoothie concoctions with less frequency. 

Recently, I opened my cabinet and saw my canister of wheat grass hiding in the back behind my vitamins. I pulled it out, opened it, poured a scoop in a glass of water, mixed well and chugged. I don't mind the taste of wheat grass, but I will tell you it's definitely an acquired taste. If you're new to wheat grass in the powder form, I suggest mixing it with juice or in a green smoothie until you can drink it with just water. HOWEVER, in my experience, I didn't feel the same boost when I mixed it with other ingredients. I feel the energy results much faster when I drink it with water only. 

A few minutes later, I happily felt a nice surge in my energy levels. It seemed like my morning mood which was very sluggish a few minutes prior suddenly picked up and the early morning fog dissipated. 

my daily energy boost!
Woohoo! I was ready to start my day! 

I'm not a coffee drinker (don't like the taste) so I always felt like I was left out of the daily morning coffee jolt that so many other people experience. I tried drinking tea in the morning, but it never gave me that boost I was looking for.

Well, my friends, I have finally discovered a natural, non caffeinated jolt that is good for you! Now I mix up a glass of wheat grass every morning after I drink a mug of warm water with fresh lemon juice. I even started to drink a glass before I hit the gym if I go in the afternoon. 

I don't drink it for the taste, I drink it for the results. If you haven't experienced the grass, I highly suggest giving it a go! I've only tried the Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass powder which you can find in Whole Foods or online. 

Bottoms up!
