From Dr. Andrew weil-Wheat Grass
Wheat grass, alfalfa, and barley grass are green plants that some people believe to be full of nutritional blessings. They all are a good source of chlorophyll which has some antibacterial effects, but in general there is no evidence to support most of the claims made for these products. Barley grass and wheat grass are the young shoots of sprouted grains. Alfalfa is a legume, usually grown to feed animals. Alfalfa contains a substance that causes symptoms similar to lupus.

New to juicing. My diet has been mainly fresh fruits and veggies, with a little grass fed beef and raw goat milk, for 2 years. Can not make myself eat enough veggies and they really hurt my stomach. I have been tested for Gluten Intolerance but the test can back neg, but I avoid grains except oats because they hurt my stomach. Do have allergy to barley. Will juicing veggies give me the nutrients I need but be easier on my stomach?

Have read all three of your books on foods. Thanks for info

I think you just have to try it and see how it comes out!!

There are some inexpensive juicers now on the market that really get the job done but why not try the blender u have first?

My husband and I are interested in juicing. Especially with wheatgrass. We don’t have a juicer, but have a good hardy blender. Can you effectively juice this with a blender? Also, I have read that the pulp from the wheatgrass is good on the skin. I thought of this for my son who has excema. What are your thoughts?

We love your book on the 150 foods, received it as a gift and refer to it often!!!

thanks,
Bea

I am an avid greens drinker! And I actually love the taste, but mixed with oj is good too. Though I have gone more green and raw, it is still hard to incorporate enough. So greens drinker I remain!

I’d try mixing PaleoReds with Barlean’s Greens. The Greens are not at all bad tasting (though remember we’re dealing with a 10 year old) but the REDs sweeten it up a bit. You can also try adding some Xylitol (I have it in the web store) which will sweeten without doing a single bad thing. Also feel free to add a bit of organic apple juice or pomegranate juice. He’ll never notice the greens!

Both Barlean’s Greens and Paleo Reds are on sale this month by the way

Jonny: My 10 yr old doesn’t like any vegtables. Will you give me a recommendation for a green drink for her?
Also I want to thank you for all the great information you put out!!!

Hi Cathie

Obviously juicing your own is always preferable! But the Barlean’s green drink is just a great convenient way to get a lot of the nutrients from the grasses and some of the other ingredients that you might not otherwise consume. It’s not always convenient to juice your own, but if you’re up for it, it’s always the best thing to do!

Not a big fan of Dr. Oz, but he is right on about green drinks. Do you prefer the Barleans Green Drink to actually juicing your own with high quality, organic vegetables?

Thanks, Cathie
