Wheatgrass Powder Blended with Green Pepper and Apple Juice

Why people make this drink

Wheatgrass has attracted genuine scientific interest over the past few decades. Research suggests it is exceptionally nutrient-dense — rich in active minerals, proteins, vitamins and trace elements. Its molecular structure is notably similar to haemoglobin (human blood), which is one reason it has been studied for blood-related applications. Modern records point to benefits including antioxidant activity and gut support. Nourilo first tried it years ago when a friend recommended wheatgrass tablets for digestive regularity and a feeling of cleansing — and found the effect on digestion pleasant. Coming across wheatgrass powder at a health food shop later, he experimented with blending it into freshly juiced vegetables and fruit. The result: a quick daily drink that is pleasant to drink and practical to prepare.

Wheatgrass has a mild alkalising effect on the body and is particularly worth considering for people whose diets run heavy on meat and processed food, which tend to push the body towards acidity. It is also noted to support digestion and benefit those prone to constipation or loose stools.
