Wheatgrass Smoothie with Banana and Spinach
Ever feel like you need a fresh start but don’t want another boring green juice? This smoothie is your answer. It’s packed with goodness but tastes surprisingly sweet and creamy, thanks to the banana.
Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh wheatgrass (I find the pre-cut trays from the store easiest to use)
- 1 large ripe banana (the spottier, the sweeter—trust me on this)
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, packed (it blends so much smoother than the mature leaves)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk—oat milk works great too)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for a nice fiber boost and a bit of texture)
- 1 cup ice cubes (about a handful, I like my smoothies frosty cold)
Instructions
- Add the 1 cup of fresh wheatgrass to your high-speed blender first. Tip: Putting the wheatgrass at the bottom helps it blend more thoroughly.
- Peel the 1 large ripe banana, break it into chunks, and add it to the blender.
- Measure and add the 2 cups of packed baby spinach to the blender.
- Pour in the 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Place the 1 cup of ice cubes on top of the other ingredients.
- Secure the blender lid tightly.
- Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible leafy bits. Tip: If your blender struggles, stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula, then blend again for another 30 seconds.
- Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses. Tip: For a fun twist, you can rim the glasses with a little honey and dip them in extra chia seeds before pouring.
Cheers to a vibrant green drink! The texture is wonderfully smooth and creamy from the banana, with just a hint of earthiness from the wheatgrass that’s perfectly balanced by the sweetness. It’s fantastic served immediately, or you can pour it into a mason jar for a refreshing, on-the-go breakfast.
Detoxifying Wheatgrass Shot
Brace yourself for the greenest little health boost you’ll ever sip! This wheatgrass shot is my go-to morning reset when I’m feeling sluggish or after a weekend of indulgence. It’s surprisingly simple to make at home and packs a powerful punch of nutrients in just a few ounces.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh wheatgrass (I find the pre-cut trays from the grocery store work perfectly)
– 1/2 cup cold filtered water (this really helps mellow the grassy flavor)
– 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (a squeeze from about 1/4 of a lemon—I always keep lemons on hand for this)
– 1 tsp raw honey (local honey is my preference for its subtle floral notes)
Instructions
1. Rinse the fresh wheatgrass thoroughly under cold running water for about 30 seconds to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Pat the wheatgrass dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels—this helps your juicer or blender work more efficiently.
3. If using a juicer, feed the wheatgrass through slowly to extract every last drop of juice; if using a high-speed blender, combine the wheatgrass and cold filtered water.
4. Blend the wheatgrass and water on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant green.
5. Place a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a small bowl or measuring cup.
6. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, using a spoon to press down firmly on the pulp to extract all the liquid.
7. Discard the dry pulp left in the strainer—it’s done its job!
8. Stir the fresh lemon juice and raw honey into the strained wheatgrass juice until fully combined.
9. Pour the mixture immediately into a small shot glass (about 2 ounces).
Freshly made, this shot has a bright, grassy flavor with a pleasant tang from the lemon and a hint of sweetness. The texture is smooth and thin, almost like a light tea—perfect for downing quickly. For a fun twist, serve it chilled over ice with a lemon wedge, or mix it into a sparkling water for a longer, refreshing drink.
Wheatgrass and Apple Juice Blend
Venturing into the world of green juices? This wheatgrass and apple juice blend is a refreshingly simple way to get your greens in without any fuss—it’s bright, slightly sweet, and perfect for a quick morning boost or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh wheatgrass, washed and patted dry (I like to snip it from my little kitchen garden if I have it on hand)
– 2 medium apples, cored and roughly chopped (go for crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji—they add a nice sweetness)
– 1 cup cold water (filtered water works best to keep the flavor clean)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (a squeeze from about half a lemon, which helps prevent browning and adds a zesty kick)
– 1 teaspoon raw honey, optional (I sometimes skip this if the apples are super sweet, but it’s great for balancing tartness)
– A pinch of sea salt (just a tiny bit to enhance all the flavors)
Instructions
1. Wash the wheatgrass thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt, then gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel—this ensures your juice doesn’t get watered down.
2. Core the apples and chop them into rough chunks, leaving the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients (tip: if you’re prepping ahead, toss the apple pieces with a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown).
3. Add the wheatgrass, apple chunks, cold water, lemon juice, honey (if using), and sea salt to a high-speed blender.
4. Blend on high speed for about 45-60 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and no large chunks remain—you might need to stop and scrape down the sides once to get everything incorporated evenly (tip: for a smoother texture, blend in short bursts to avoid overheating the ingredients).
5. Place a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher, then pour the blended mixture through it to strain out any pulp, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
6. Discard the pulp (or save it for composting if you like), then pour the strained juice into two glasses filled with ice.
7. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, giving it a quick stir before drinking to mix everything well (tip: if you prefer it chilled without dilution, refrigerate the juice for 30 minutes before serving instead of using ice).
Unexpectedly smooth and vibrant, this blend has a grassy yet sweet profile with a hint of tartness from the lemon. Enjoy it straight up for a clean sip, or get creative by adding a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist—it’s light enough to pair with a breakfast toast or enjoy as a midday refresher.
Wheatgrass Pesto Pasta
Gosh, sometimes you just need a quick, healthy dinner that doesn’t taste like you’re eating a salad, right? This wheatgrass pesto pasta is my go-to for exactly that—it’s vibrant, herby, and comes together in about the time it takes to boil water. Let’s get into it.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 pound of your favorite pasta (I’m partial to linguine for this)
– 2 cups fresh wheatgrass, roughly chopped (find it in the produce section)
– 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, my go-to for its fruity flavor
– 1/3 cup raw pine nuts, toasted for a nutty crunch
– 2 garlic cloves, peeled (fresh is key here)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
– 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Fill a large pot with water, add a big pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
2. Add the 1 pound of pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. While the pasta cooks, heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the 1/3 cup pine nuts for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan often, until they’re golden and fragrant—watch closely as they can burn quickly.
4. In a food processor, combine the 2 cups wheatgrass, toasted pine nuts, 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5. Pulse the mixture 5-6 times until coarsely chopped, then with the processor running, slowly drizzle in the 1/2 cup olive oil until a smooth pesto forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
6. Drain the cooked pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and return the pasta to the pot off the heat.
7. Add the pesto to the pot with the pasta and toss to coat evenly, adding splashes of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency—this helps it cling better.
8. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan if you like.
Mmm, this dish has a bright, grassy flavor from the wheatgrass that’s balanced by the creamy pesto and salty Parmesan. The texture is wonderfully silky, with the al dente pasta holding onto every bit of sauce. Try it with a squeeze of lemon or some grilled chicken for a heartier meal—it’s versatile enough for any night of the week.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds—don’t let it brown!
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
5. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to let flavors meld.
6. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the wheatgrass juice and baby spinach until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
7. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender right in the pot).
8. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
9. Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat.
10. Whisk in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated and the soup is warmed through, 2-3 minutes.

Wheatgrass and Avocado Salad
A fresh, vibrant salad that’s as nourishing as it is delicious—this wheatgrass and avocado combo is my go-to when I want something light yet satisfying. You’ll love how the creamy avocado balances the earthy wheatgrass, making it perfect for a quick lunch or a side dish that steals the show. It’s super simple to throw together, so let’s get started!
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh wheatgrass, chopped (I like it finely chopped for easier eating)
– 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and sliced (go for one that yields slightly to gentle pressure)
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for its fruity flavor)
– 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (squeezed right before using for maximum zing)
– 1/4 tsp sea salt (I prefer fine-grain for even distribution)
– 1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground (it adds a nice kick)
Instructions
1. Wash the 2 cups of fresh wheatgrass thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt, then pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
2. Chop the washed wheatgrass finely with a sharp knife on a cutting board until it’s in small, bite-sized pieces—this helps it blend better with the other ingredients.
3. Cut the 1 large ripe avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon onto the same cutting board.
4. Slice the avocado flesh into thin, even pieces, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure it mixes well without turning mushy.
5. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined and slightly emulsified.
6. Tip: Taste the dressing now and adjust salt if needed, but avoid over-salting since the avocado adds natural creaminess.
7. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped wheatgrass and sliced avocado, gently tossing them with your hands or salad tongs to mix evenly.
8. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, using a spoon to coat all pieces lightly without crushing the avocado.
9. Tip: Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld—this enhances the overall taste.
10. Serve immediately on plates or in bowls, garnishing with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
11. Tip: For a crunchier twist, you can add a handful of toasted nuts, but I love it as-is for its smooth texture.
Buttery avocado melts into the earthy wheatgrass, creating a creamy yet fresh bite that’s surprisingly filling. The lemon dressing adds a bright zing that cuts through the richness, making every forkful a delight. Try it topped with grilled chicken or as a bed for poached eggs to turn it into a hearty meal!

Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (I like using ripe, sweet pineapple—it makes all the difference in flavor)
– 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice (chilled is best for a faster freeze)
– ¼ cup fresh wheatgrass juice (if you don’t have a juicer, many health food stores sell it bottled)
– 2 tablespoons honey (I prefer raw honey for its subtle floral notes, but any kind works)
– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (a squeeze of lime brightens everything up)
– A pinch of sea salt (just a tiny bit to enhance the sweetness)

10. After freezing, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly. Tip: This makes scooping much easier—if it’s too hard, you can briefly pulse it in the food processor to fluff it up.

3. Tip: Give the dry ingredients a good stir with a whisk to evenly distribute the wheatgrass and protein powders, preventing any clumps.
4. In a separate, microwave-safe bowl, add the 1 cup of creamy almond butter and 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup.
5. Heat the almond butter and maple syrup mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds to make it pourable and easier to mix.
6. Stir the warmed almond butter and maple syrup mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined.
7. Stir the 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract into the warm almond butter mixture.
8. Pour the wet almond butter mixture into the bowl with the dry oat mixture.
9. Use a sturdy spatula to fold and stir everything together until no dry spots remain and a thick, uniform dough forms.
10. Tip: If the dough seems too dry, you can add another tablespoon of maple syrup; if too wet, add a tablespoon more of oats.
11. Fold the 1/4 cup of mini dark chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
12. Transfer the dough into your prepared parchment-lined baking pan.
13. Use your hands or the bottom of a flat glass to press the dough firmly and evenly into the pan, getting it into all the corners.
14. Tip: For extra neat bars, place a second sheet of parchment paper on top before pressing to keep your hands clean.
15. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the bars set for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm enough to slice.
16. Once fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab of bars out of the pan.
17. Place the slab on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into 12 even bars.
18. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
What I love most is the perfect chewy texture from the oats and the subtle, earthy sweetness. They’re fantastic straight from the fridge for a cool treat, or try crumbling one over a bowl of Greek yogurt for a protein-packed breakfast.
