			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; display: inline" class="alignright size-full wp-image-189" title="grass_and_blender" alt="grass_and_blender" align="right" src="http://www.rhibafarms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/grass_and_blender.png" width="200" height="302" />One of the biggest investments when getting into wheatgrass is the juicer.&#160; Quality wheetgrass juicers start at about $300.&#160; That&#8217;s a pretty big investment for beginners.&#160; While doing some searching, I found an interesting method for juicing wheatgrass with a common household blender.&#160; We did an experiment with it here at RhibaFarms.</p>
<p>First we cut some grass in one inch increments and put it in the blender.&#160; Next we added a cup of water to help with the blending process.&#160; We blended in 10 second bursts, so the blender wouldn&#8217;t heat up too much and blended until it was mostly all liquid.&#160; The next step can be done a few different ways, we placed a coffee filter over a container and poured a portion of the freshly blended juice in.&#160; We let the juice strain out, and then squeezed the remaining out by hand.&#160; You can also use a sieve or what most people use is a <a href="http://www.rawguru.com/store/raw-food/nut-milk-bags-buy-3-get-1-free.html" target="_blank">nut milk bag</a> to strain the juice from the remaining fiber.</p>
<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 2px 5px; display: inline" class="alignright size-full wp-image-186" title="add_water" alt="add_water" align="left" src="http://www.rhibafarms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/add_water.png" width="208" height="309" />Now you have a cup of green juice and you observant readers will remember that this juice is mostly water.&#160; The best way to drink wheatgrass juice is as pure juice.&#160; So the next step was to cut more grass for the blender, then we added our freshly strained juice back into the blender.&#160; The idea is to keep doing this until the whole flat is juiced, that way the juice is as pure as you can get it using the blender.&#160; Pour yourself a shot and the remaining juice you don&#8217;t drink can be frozen and used through out the week.</p>
<p>In conclusion, this may not be the best way to juice wheatgrass but it is a great way for people to get into wheatgrass and will do until you decided to fully commit and spend the money on a juicer.&#160; The best part is that it is completely free, assuming you already own a blender.&#160; Try it for yourself and let us know how it works out.</p>
