How to Get Kids to Enjoy Wheatgrass

The internal and external benefits of wheatgrass are quickly gaining recognition across the United States. With today's concerns about the increase in childhood obesity, many parents are turning to a more healthy lifestyle, but getting kids to follow can be quite a challenge. Luckily, getting kids to enjoy wheatgrass is not as hard as it may seem.

  Start your kids drinking wheatgrass juice as early as possible, and it will soon become a part of their daily routine that they enjoy as much as any other drink. Studies show that children are most open to new tastes and flavors before they reach the age of 2, so starting early is your best bet.

  Sweeten up the juice and make it a delicious and nutritious treat than any child will enjoy. One of the best ways to get kids to love the taste of wheatgrass is to dilute the juice with equal parts of pear or apple juice.

  Get your kids involved in the growing process, a great way to get them excited about wheatgrass from seed to glass. Consider giving your children their own growing trays so that they can care for and grow the very wheatgrass that they will be drinking.

  Purchase a hand crank wheatgrass juicer, an inexpensive investment that your children will find delightfully fun. As they feed the wheatgrass into the hopper, crank the machine and watch the blades of grass turn into thick green juice, you will be amazed at how quickly they learn to enjoy drinking wheatgrass as well.
