I love to grow trays of wheatgrass and juice it when I can, but depending on our travel schedule and other factors, it’s not always possible. When I can’t make fresh wheatgrass I use organic wheatgrass powder from Amazing Grass. It is pure and powerful and you will notice the effects on your energy levels soon after drinking it. This is what I use to bring on trips, and always keep a jar of it in the freezer for backup.
