Confessions of a Wheatgrass Convert


i have heard of wheatgrass drinks around 2007 or 2008. i remember i first saw Dyan Castillejo on a show (probably Sports Unlimited, probably not) where she was in a wheatgrass farm (i guess) and there was a whole bunch wheatgrass seedlings. 

the wheatgrass were cultivated in a cool place, it was somewhat like a greenhouse but it was cold and wet like a huge refrigerator and it was solely used for wheatgrass cultivation. i saw someone cutting the wheatgrass and had it extracted with a juicer, and then Dyan drank it straight up! 

for someone not a big fan of vegetables, i was like, "ugh, that tastes like grass for sure". next thing i know, there started a trend for wheatgrass drink among health buffs and wannabes, and Dyan Castillejo eventually started endorsing Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass  with Alodia and Ashley Gosengfiao. i thought, how can people stand ingesting something that tastes like grass? are they turning into goats or something? yeah, bad, bad me.


my bestfriend started trying wheatgrass around 2010 or 2011, she asked me to accompany her to find where she could buy them. we went to Watsons, we weren't looking for a particular brand. as usual, i was like, "what's the fuzz with grass?" because i haven't tried it and you'll have to torture me before i'd try it. she 's trying to be a health buff, and obviously, i'm not interested in becoming one nor even try to be one.



it wasn't until this February when i was invited to the Easy Pha-Max office that i got to try a wheatgrass drink. i was served the one with honey. i was trying to smell it at first. may i say i have a pretty strong sense of smell, and that i can tell how something tastes like just by sniffing it. out of courtesy to the hosts, i tried it, just one sip. and then another. and another. one sip after another got me consuming a whole glass. next thing i know i was being asked if i wanted a third glass. there. i liked it. it doesn't smell nor taste like grass like what i've always believed. 


i know it has a lot of health benefits, but i have yet to discover what they are. i still have a lot of readings and research to do about its health benefits. as for now, the facts i know about wheatgrass is that it cleanses, alkalizes and nourishes the blood and body, and that it has 13 vitamins, 10 minerals, 17 amino acids, chlorophyll and fiber that the body needs so it can function efficiently (i got that from the Easy Pha-Max Wheatgrass flyer ☺).



so, dear reader, why not try it for yourself? if i could be a wheatgrass convert, so can you. so can your picky eater kid. i know, i am a picky eater myself. i liked it, try it and you will like it too.
