ORANGE WHEATGRASS SMOOTHIEย RECIPE

High in vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and manganese, this orange wheatgrass smoothie recipe is a creamy, sweet, and refreshing introduction to wheatgrass!

You will love the way it feels when wheatgrass is coursing through your veins!

Get the benefits of wheatgrass with the sweetness ofย bananas and oranges, which knock out the strong “green” flavor.ย 

We used almond/coconut milk as our milk substitute for this low-fat, tropical-tasting orange wheatgrass smoothie.ย 

Though it doesn’t have any pineapple, the flavor is reminiscent of a pina colada when made with coconut milk.

Warning: you will crave this orange wheatgrass smoothie for days!

If you find that’s the case, be sure to freeze part of this large serving for later in the week.

We always get asked if a Vitamix or Blendtec can blend wheatgrass.

The answer is YES!

They will easily pulverize and break down the cell walls of fresh wheatgrass in your green smoothies without a problem!

However if you don’t have a high power blender, not to worry!

Use these tips if making this orange wheatgrass smoothie recipe in a โ€œregularโ€ blender OR try using wheatgrass powder.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WHEATGRASS

Where should we begin?ย Wheatgrass is intensely good for you in so many ways since it hasย antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The juice contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder.

The nutrients in wheatgrass may also help the body remove stored toxins. For example, the chlorophyll aids in detoxing the body and helps support healthy liver function.

    Loved how the tangerines and banana truly mask the wheatgrass taste. Unfortunately, I couldn’t share with my daughter since there are warnings on pregnant women eating wheatgrass, which was the whole reason why I made it in the first place. Still!, her partner and I really enjoyed!

      So glad you loved it Monique! And congratulations on being a healthy and awesome grandmother! ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy Blending ~Tarashaun

    Mmm! Tasted like a pro made it! I thought the orange would be overpowering, but you get a hint of orange which I loved.

    Started growing my own wheat grass recently and came across this recipe a few days ago. Love love love it! I have a Blendtec and it works wonderfully and breaking down the wheat grass. Iโ€™m not a fan of bananas so I played with substituting frozen mango chunks for the banana and it came out really good.

      Hey Sheila! No for all recipes you would remove the peel but you can blend up the seeds. Also, when you remove the peel, try to leave as much of the white pyth as possible, that’s where a ton of the nutrition is. HAPPY BLENDING! ~Tarashaun

    I just made this, and it was delicious! Of course I made a little change because of what I had on hand. Even still it was soooo good! The combo of citrus and “milk” really bring together the sweet and creamy taste that wheatgrass really wants to be. Sorry no pics as I am terrible at taking photos. Sadly enough, food porn just isnt a talent of mine.

      1. I used 2 sweet limes (first time using them and wow!) , 1kiwi, 1 medjool date and hemp milk (also made w blendtec). I tried some of the sweet lime to make sure it would work. They were so yummy, I ate a quite a bit. So I added the kiwi to fill in the rest.

  5. I can’t really say that I like wheatgrass, but as long as the flavor is improved upon (or sweetened with other flavors like orange), then I’m happy to at least try it.

    1. It’s definitely an easier way to drink wheatgrass if you’re not a huge fan Kate! ๐Ÿ™‚ Let us know if you try it! HAPPY BLENDING!

  6. I like it very much just because of it’s health benefits and not because of it’s taste. I don’t know any recipe that can be made with this that makes it taste better. All that I know is make dry wheat grass into powder a, mix it with little water and drink early in the morning. It is said this cleanses the system.
