    Expert Answer
    Sure! You can either use a regular juicer or a blender. Remember to add the wheatgrass blades and water to the blender in about a 1:1 ratio, adjusting to suit your taste.
  • Question
    Can I just put the grass into my NutriBullet along with my other components?
    Community Answer
    No. Wheatgrass fiber doesn't digest well in most people's stomachs. The juice is fine though. Your Nutribullet will give you the juice AND the fiber. You could feel free to risk it, though.
  • Question
    What does the grass taste like?
    Community Answer
    At first, it's like licking the bottom of a lawn mower. But don't let that put you off - after a shot or two, you will find it a very nice flavor, one that you will actually crave.
  • Question
    Can I add other ingredients to wheat grass juice?
    Community Answer
    Of course! You can make a smoothie with a blender and add several other fruits or vegetables, like kale, strawberries, or apples. It depends on your taste.
  • Question
    How much water do I need to use to make 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice?
    Community Answer
    None. Why are you adding water? Get a wheatgrass juicer. I've juiced wheatgrass for years at a juice bar. No water is needed. If you're attempting to use a centrifugal juicer, you'll likely get very little usable wheatgrass juice. My recommendation is the Omega 8006 juicer.
  • Question
    Where can I buy a masticating juicer?
    Community Answer
    Bed Bath and Beyond. Omega makes a cube for about $350, and an 8006 for about $300. Use a coupon. You can also use them to make frozen desserts, mince herbs, make bread sticks and pasta, baby food, and almond butter or milk.
  • Question
    Will the wheatgrass keep growing as long as I keep cutting off the top?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it will keep growing, but the health benefits of the plant will not be as good as before. Consider buying new seeds.
