Skiingfreak what kind of smoothies were you adding them to? I recently bought wheatgrass powder and have been adding a spoonful to my smoothies and I don't even taste it in there? Do you do smoothies with almond or rice milk or even yoghurt? I've been making one with almond/rice mile, banana or avocado, chia seeds, raw cacao, virgin coconut oil, wheatgrass and a touch of honey and it's yummy!

Thanks everyone! Will try and get some fresh wheatgrass I think, wish I'd seen the comments on how foul it all is before I bought the stuff! Found it in the health shop in moe. Sandydog if you want to share the stuff I've bought, wheatgrass powder, spirulina powder and probiotic capsules you're more than welcome to, I haven't opened anything yet but going to have a tentative attempt tomorrow I think! Thanks. You go first :D

The wheatgrass is an acquired taste, but to be honest I think when you add it in with lots of ingredients it's fine. Actually, I've started adding cinnamon (and tumeric) to my breakfast smoothies and I now hardly taste the wheatgrass anymore. It's so good for you it's worth giving it a shot. My husband still calls it pond powder, but he only tried it once! He often puts chlorella in things which he claims not to taste at all, although I know that's not on your list. FFx

You can get both generally in large sachets at the health food stands like the one in Mirdif CC. I have to say they really made me feel sick, so I switched to the spirulina tablets instead and eliminated the wheatgrass as much as possible as it ruined every juice!!! Just my opinion though!

Ripe shop off Al Manara have the wheatgrass. I heard the organic supermarket has spirulina. You are in for a treat. I've added them to smoothies thinking you wouldn't taste it. Now I prefer to just take a shot followed by a swig of something nice like orange juice!

The health shop in Marina Mall across from Waitrose sell them. I bought them when I was attempting Jason Vale but now they just sit in my cupboard collecting dust! I make juice regularly but hated the taste of adding these powders. Fresh Wheatgrass is so much nicer.

Apparently it's spirulina powder not tablets I'm after and life pharmacy don't stock powder so if anyone has any idea where I might get the powder spirulina from that would be great! Thanks!

Hi, You'll get Spirulina in any Life pharmacy but not sure about the Wheatgrass. Give them a call - all the numbers for their various branches are on their website and I've called before to check product was in stock before I went and they were helpful on the phone. S
