Wheatgrass Citrus Smoothie
Vibrant and nutrient-packed, this smoothie delivers a fresh energy boost. Wheatgrass provides earthy depth while citrus brightens every sip. It’s my go-to morning revitalizer.
Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh wheatgrass, chopped (I find it blends smoother when pre-chopped)
– 1 large orange, peeled and segmented (navel oranges are sweeter and less acidic)
– 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2 tbsp—freshly squeezed makes all the difference)
– 1 cup cold water (chilled water keeps it refreshing)
– 1 tbsp honey (local raw honey adds a subtle floral note)
– 1 cup ice cubes (crushed ice blends faster and creates a smoother texture)
Instructions
1. Add 1 cup chopped fresh wheatgrass to a high-speed blender.
2. Pour in 1 cup cold water to help break down the fibrous wheatgrass.
3. Blend on high speed for 45 seconds until the wheatgrass is fully pureed and no large pieces remain.
4. Add 1 large peeled and segmented orange and 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice.
5. Incorporate 1 tbsp honey for natural sweetness.
6. Drop in 1 cup ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
7. Blend on high for 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
8. Pour immediately into a glass and serve cold.
Juicy and invigorating, this smoothie has a velvety texture with a tangy-sweet balance. Garnish with a citrus slice or a sprinkle of wheatgrass powder for an extra visual pop.
Tropical Wheatgrass Delight
Perfect for a quick energy boost, this vibrant green smoothie combines tropical sweetness with earthy wheatgrass. It’s my go-to post-workout refresher—simple, nutritious, and ready in minutes.
Ingredients
– 1 cup frozen mango chunks (I always keep a bag in the freezer for smooth emergencies)
– 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or frozen (canned works too, but drain the juice)
– 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder (I prefer organic for a cleaner taste)
– 1 cup coconut water (chilled is best—it blends smoother)
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat adds creaminess, but any type works)
– 1 tbsp honey (local honey gives a nice floral hint)
– 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh fruit, not frozen)
Instructions
1. Add 1 cup frozen mango chunks to a high-speed blender.
2. Pour in 1/2 cup pineapple chunks.
3. Measure and add 1 tbsp wheatgrass powder.
4. Tip: For easier blending, start with liquids—pour in 1 cup coconut water.
5. Scoop in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt.
6. Drizzle 1 tbsp honey into the blender.
7. Add 1/2 cup ice cubes if using fresh fruit to thicken the smoothie.
8. Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and no chunks remain.
9. Tip: Stop and scrape down the sides halfway through to ensure even blending.
10. Pour immediately into a glass and serve cold.
11. Tip: Garnish with a pineapple wedge or mint leaf for a fresh look.
Makes a creamy, slightly thick texture with a sweet tropical kick and earthy undertones from the wheatgrass. Try it poured over granola for a breakfast bowl or as a chilled dessert—it’s versatile and always satisfying.

Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh wheatgrass (I find it’s best harvested in the morning for peak sweetness)

9. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for exactly 45 seconds until completely smooth.
10. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to incorporate any unblended bits.
11. Blend again for another 15 seconds to ensure a perfectly silky consistency.
12. Pour immediately into a chilled glass and serve within 5 minutes for optimal freshness.
Creamy yet light, this smoothie has a vibrant green hue and refreshing zing from the lemon. The wheatgrass provides an earthy base while the spinach keeps it mild and drinkable.
