Question for Wheatgrass ladies

Hi! I was intrigued by the posts I ran into regarding wheatgrass shots before O. I was just at Whole Foods and noticed they sell boxes of flash frozen wheatgrass shots, 10 for $15.

I have tried juicing my own wheatgrass but it's kind of a pain. I was wondering what you ladies thought of the frozen shots-whether it was going to be just as effective or if I should skip convenience and go for the real thing. TIA!

Get the shots. In my whole foods they have 30 for I think $19 so I use one a day. I mix with POM juice or in a smoothie. Just avoid the pills or powder.

I did the ones from whole foods...mixed one a day with some juice...not too bad.  Some say the fresh is better from the frozen, but the frozen was just the easiest for me.

I do the frozen ones from Whole Foods... if you buy the whole case, you get 10% off....  since I take it every day, that is what we did.  10% is 10%....., I think I'm through more than half of it now, almost time to order another case.. LOL

Thanks ladies!!

I might trying juicing it myself next month if I can get motivated to. I'm going to do some more digging around in my alternative health books to see if I can find anything out about the potency of frozen wheatgrass shots compared to fresh.

The RE said my pre-AF spotting and two M/C could have been from poor egg quality/small size, and that is why I tried wheatgrass as I heard it improved egg quality. The month we got our BFP, I did the frozen wheatgrass shots from whole foods. One serving (e.g. two ice cubes) each night from AF up to ovulation. I defrosted and did the shots quickly and followed with a glass of OJ. Can't really imagine trying to blend them in with something. I also did a couple of fresh juice shots at Jamba Juice when I could. The fresh ones tasted much better but it was hard to get to Jamba. I only did Wheatgrass one month and that was the month I got my BFP. It was also the only time I had no pre-AF spotting in a year. I am 100% convinced it helpd me. Good luck!!!!

Thank you so much for telling your story. I don't live near a Jamba juice (sad!) and I'm trying to think where I might get fresh wheatgrass shots to buy without juicing myself. Might just have to suck it up and juice it myself.
