How Much Wheatgrass Juice

"In general, two to four ounces of wheatgrass juice every day is sufficient."

On three days a week, I juice two 9"x12" trays of wheatgrass (nearly equal to the three wheatgrass trays each 6"x13" in the GoGreen Large Sprouter) and cucumber, celery, apple, ginger, cabbage. On one day I add a big bunch of greens that varies each week (spinach, carrot tops, etc.).

Sometimes I use barleygrass but I don't like its bitter taste. My wheatgrass trays are medium fridge dishes I bought at Servi-Star in South Africa.

I drink celery, with its natural sodium, for joints, nerves, and restoring electrolytes after exercise. Cucumber is for healthy bones, teeth, muscles, skin and all connective tissue. These are the “youthing” greens to stay younger longer, and they're quick to wash 'n chop.

My juice lasts me two days. I keep half of it refrigerated for one night in ten small 200ml green-glass bottles filled to the brim to reduce oxidation (Appletiser bottles). Then I drink five bottles a day, or one quart (250ml equals 1/2 pint). The colored green glass keeps light out.

I occasionally add a few big carrots, but mostly I shun them because carrots are so high in hybridized sugars. It's GREEN GRASSES and GREEN LEAVES that all the animals are living on – including the mountain gorilla and elephant. No one lives on carrots.

Sunshine power, chlorophyll, GREEN energy, sustains all life on earth. It's the single biggest source of healing and RENEWAL, of New Life. Look at the fresh young leaves of Spring. You get Spring every day in your Sprouter!

Only the big cats are 100% carnivorous and I bet they chew on grass a little, just like my cats.

I plant my wheatgrass trays on three days a week, the same day I juice (Mon, Wed, Friday). It's so quick 'n easy – sprinkle wheat in the tray and pop into Sprouter. I don't soak the wheat first, you lose minerals in the soak water.

You should not drink wheatgrass juice seven days a week. Dr. Ann advised that you give it a break for one or two days.

The 6"x13" tray in the GoGreen Sprouter gives SIX ounces of juice, using just under half a cup of wheat berries (seed).

The Samson is the best Juicer, to me it's perfect – order here or read more here under Juicing. I make nut butters, and sprouted-grain crackers and cookies with it as well – recipes on my juicer and dehydrator sites.

For 3 ounces of juice a day, juicing every day, use ten 3"x13" trays in two Small Sprouters or one Large. Both the Basic and Large Mist Kits will build two Small Sprouters or one Large.

Wheatgrass takes ten days to mature. As soon as grass has its root mats (after 4-5 days growth) you can continue to grow it outside your Sprouter, watering manually twice a day.

I always have trays of wheatgrass growing on my countertop ready for juicing, plus a few smaller trays of baby greens for salad and soup. They're all from my Sprouters of course. I never grow in soil because the bags of soil – much as I love Mother Earth – are one big dirty hassle.

Blending and juicing – each has a role to play in our healing. Most critical is the LIFE FORCE, for half of what you eat each day to be alive and growing. Fruit is alive when it's ripening.

As Dr. Ann said, dead foods for dead bodies, and
