Does the Vitamix Do Grasses?

Will the Vitamix do grasses, such as wheatgrass juice?

*****
Sassy Sez: Hi Maxine - This is such a great question.

Personally, I use Amazing Grass's Wheat Grass Powder in my daily AM smoothie. It's 100% awesome - smells so sweet and delicious. (Wow, if you would have told me 10 years ago I'd be saying that about wheat grass I would have said you were crazy.)

Regarding fresh wheat grass, since the powerful Vitamix breaks food down to the cellular level, it is my understanding that this enables us to get to the nutrition packed within the grass.

The best way to use the Vitamix in this manner is to make the grass part of a smoothie. You can add the grass directly to your smoothie. Most people find this works beautifully. You'll want to be sure the grass is not added in large clumps.

Or if it seems too pulpy for you, you can blend grass, ice and water, then strain the juice through a fine strainer or mesh bag, add it back to the VM along with your other ingredients and blend until smooth.

Here is an easy recipe from the VM site:

* 1 cup grapes
* 1/2 cup pineapple
* 1/2 cup wheat grass
* 1 cup ice

Directions:
Place all ingredients in Vitamix container. Secure two-part lid. Select VARIABLE, speed #1. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10, then flip the switch up to the High Speed setting. Blend on High for 1 minute.

Hope this helps! xo
