Don't pass on this grass😉 For an extra boost of energy I take a 1-2oz shot of fresh wheat grass a few times per week. So excited to try out these freeze-dried wheat grass packets as an alternative for when I'm on the go. Will be perfect for my trip to DC this weekend! ****************************************************** 🌿Wheat grass is a superfood with an abundance of health benefits. It contains vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, K and minerals zinc, magnesium and iron. Wheat grass improves digestion✔strengthens the immune system by activating white blood cells✔️removes toxins from liver and blood✔️regenerates skin cells and improves acne #💯 (at The Health Nuts)
