supply. I will definitely need to update this article on my blog to let you know how I am doing on my wheatgrass journey.
Urban leaf wheatgrass is actually palatable! It wasn't anything like the smoothie bar experience that I had before. It is a sweet taste along with the herbal, grassy taste. If you have ever chewed the soft end of grass as a kid, it is very similar to that.
I suffer from IBS. This means that I have a hard time digesting raw vegetables and the nutrients that go with them. I try to ensure that I make a smoothie for myself every morning because it is the only way I can really "do" vegetables.
I have also done some research on Turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties. It needs to be mixed with black pepper to activate those nutrients. Here is my mixture:
- 3 Tbsp powdered turmeric
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp powdered ginger
If you put these ingredients in a small mason jar and give them a shake, they are ready to add to smoothies, or heat up a cup of milk, or coconut milk. Add 1 tsp of the mixture to your favourite smoothie recipe.
Coincidentally, guess what is next on the growing roster for Urban Leaf? Turmeric, ginger and basil! With the experience that I have had so far with the high quality of the supershots, I am excited for both the turmeric and the ginger. My smoothies will be super packed with nutrients!
So where can you get your hands on this amazing health product?
- The Juice Monkey - Westmount mall inside Gold's Gym. He sells the box of 14 shots for $26.99
- Maka Eatery - Inside of the Don Wheaton YMCA in downtown Edmonton

Keep your eyes on Glo Juicery as well, during the month of March Urban Leaf will be performing pop ups in their Edmonton locations (incl St.Albert and Sherwood Park) to promote a new juice flavour they are developing that contains Urban Leaf SuperShots wheatgrass.
Soon to be on the Urban Leaf website will be recipes that you can use wheatgrass and their other products in. Mark was telling me about a pesto-like recipe that he had experienced that sounded amazing. I will look forward to trying it.
