You simply can't get all the juice available in the grass using this method. With that said you can kill some of the juice from the heat of the blender, that's why I would suggest chopping it in short bursts so the blender doesn't get too hot. Freezing is better than refrigerating, you will loose nutritional content either way but less so with freezing. If at all possible you should drink the grass soon after it is cut.

Do you think that is right? I hope not because I can't buy a juicer right now and I really hope I'm still getting all the good out of the wheatgrass! Do I have to freeze my leftover juice, or can I save it in the fridge for a couple of days? Thanks!

We are getting ready to re-visit this with a better method and more details. Stay tuned! I’m glad this method is working out for everyone who is trying it.

It smelled really strong, but it tasted decent. Your method works like a charm. It may not be the perfect way to prepare wheatgrass juice, but it's a great starting point. Thank you! I wasn't sure what I was going to do. :) I had my first ever shot of wheatgrass this morning using your method – with my Vitamix blender. It smelled really strong, but it tasted decent.

I put in a handful of grass with 2 T of water. blended for about 30 seconds. I added 1/2 cup grated carrots and 1/2 cup chopped pineapple. Delicious juice! Doesn't smell great, but tasted great with a healthy muffin for breakfast. I made my first batch of wheatgrass juice and used my blender.

I did it all in one batch, strained it through a wire colandar, squeezed the pulp then drained it through a coffee filter. It worked fine. I don't see a reason why it needs to be drunk neat anyway, no difference from drinking it net then following up with a glass of water. The pulp was still a bit green so I used it as a body scrub! Thanks for your info. Pete Hi
