Incredible!!!
I grew my own Wheatgrass and I made this for my EXTREMELY picky husband.
He sipped it and is always apprehensive. He shouted, Wow! This is good!!
Success!!
THANK YOU!
I’m doing Weight Watchers so I changed it. Used 1 cup almond milk instead of cashews/water, 1 banana instead of dates, and it was crave worthy!! Yummy!!

Thank you so much, Therese! I'm so happy to hear you and your husband enjoyed this one! It definitely hides the wheatgrass flavor very well 🙂 Best, Elaine
