Wheatgrass juice - how to start drinking it
Not long ago I bought a wheatgrass juicer (I bought Lexen, which you can see on the image ) because I heard so many good things about drinking wheatgrass. I also tasted the "juice" at a health festival - true it was from powder, not the freshly pressed juice. I liked the taste and thought it would not cause me any problems as some people reported due to fast detoxification in the body.
Then I went to a bio store and bought my first batch of wheatgrass. Luckily the shop assistant asked me several questions about how I would like to consume it and whether I have already drunk it. So she advised me to dilute it with water when I first start. I thanked her and proudly walked home with my wheatgrass.
Then, when I first pressed the juice out I - of course- tasted the juice that came out. It was so intense I couldn't drink it!!!! I was wise enough to only take a sip from it luckily, so immediately I diluted it in a 1-10 proportion. This time I managed to drink half of it. ( The original amount was 20 ml - but I suggest starting with only 15 ml per day)
I learned my lesson - again - to listen to those who already have experience because she was right: wheat grass juice from powder doesn't even come close to the freshly pressed one.
My advice to you when you start out: take it step by step. First buy the wheatgrass powder so that your body gets accustomed to the taste and detoxifying effect, then go juicing but even in this case first start out with diluted wheatgrass juice.
Here you will find some pictures of me using the juicer and end result:

Raw Food Recipes for Beginners - Super-Energizing Breakfast Smoothies!
One of the most common complaints received from people concerning
transitioning to a raw food diet is how complicated the recipes are. So
many contain ingredient lists a mile long and either requires a
twelve-step process to make or twelve hours of dehydrator time. Few
people have the time to plan meals twelve hours in advance and these
complex recipes can be quite daunting for even the most experienced
raw-foodies, let alone a beginner.
That being said, some of the most delicious recipes are the least complicated you will come by. These raw food recipes for beginners are dietary staples and encourage great nutrition, amazing taste, while requiring very minimal preparation time.
One such recipe is a super-energizing breakfast smoothie. Called "green drinks" or "green smoothies" among many in the raw food community, this recipe provides you with amazing, mind-clearing energy through raw, all natural, core nutrients that can be found right in your refrigerator.
Greens are arguably the most essential component to our diets. From greens we receive vitamins, minerals, fiber, and proteins, so it is no wonder you experience a surge of energy when you supply your bodies with these core nutrients found in the most basic raw food recipes for beginners. As a society, we are recommended to consume a minimum of five servings of vegetables and fruits a day but unfortunately, the standard American diet has less than 30% of Americans meeting that goal (26.3% according to a study done by the CDC in 2009).
These simple raw food recipes for beginners allow you to incorporate all of these essential energizing nutrients into your diet. One 14-ounce serving of a blended green drink can have three to four servings of fruits and vegetables each. Green drinks can be made with a variety of ingredients, the most popular being Spinach, Kale, Romaine lettuce, and Red Leaf lettuce. Numerous fruits can also be used including red or green grapes, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, oranges, and lemons, making green drinks incredibly versatile to personal tastes.

Transitioning to a raw food diet can be diet and creating raw
food recipes for beginners can be difficult when switching cold-turkey.
To make transitioning to a healthier lifestyle easier begin with one
meal at a time. Start with breakfast, there is one raw food breakfast
that not only tastes delicious but takes five minutes to make and will
keep you energized all day long. When you have a good breakfast under
your belt it will not only start your day off right but make your
transition that much easier. Click here to check out the recipe that will wake you up and keeps you going every morning.
