Ingredients
– Fresh wheatgrass – ¼ cup
– Ripe mango – 1 cup, chopped
– Frozen banana – 1 medium
– Unsweetened almond milk – 1 cup
– Honey – 1 tbsp
– Ice cubes – ½ cup
Instructions
1. Wash the fresh wheatgrass thoroughly under cold running water for 30 seconds to remove any dirt or debris.

3. Add the washed wheatgrass, chopped mango, frozen banana, unsweetened almond milk, honey, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.
4. Secure the blender lid tightly to prevent spills, then blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible chunks.

6. Add the filtered water to the glass and stir with a spoon for 10 seconds to dilute the juice slightly for a smoother texture.
