- Wheatgrass juice can also be mixed with other fruit juices to create a cocktail. Orange and apple juice are especially popular mixers. A shot of wheatgrass juice is simply added to a glass of fruit juice and drunk normally.
- Wheatgrass is noted for having a rather unpleasant taste. This is why many people have taken to adding it to smoothies to get the benefits of its nutrients without drinking it neat.
