Down South, especially in cities like Chennai, it is very common to see people stopping at juice stalls during their morning walk, to take a glass of wheatgrass juice with a dash of lemon. Here is a healthier and tastier version that you can make at home. The muskmelon, pineapple and wheatgrass juice pools in the nutrition of fruits with that of wheatgrass, resulting in a fibre-rich, pleasantly-coloured, delicious juice that is ideal for breakfast, especially for those wanting to lose weight. Apart from adding ‘zero fat’ bulk to the juice, muskmelon is also high in fibre and vitamin A. So, it helps you keep full without adding calories. Pineapple imparts a natural sweetness to the juice and can be considered as a good substitute to high-calorie sweets and dessert. Besides, an enzyme present in pineapple called bromelain aids in digestion. Wheatgrass contains chlorophyll, which helps purify the liver and also neutralizes toxins. It also helps in lowering blood cholesterol by blocking its absorption.

This fibre-rich juice is a fantastic way to start your day! Not only is it tasty, healthy and low-cal, it is also quick and easy to make because it does not require straining. The fibre content of this Muskmelon Watermelon and Wheat Grass Juice is just one of the ways in which it aids in weight loss. It also gives you a good dose of antioxidants like vitamins A and C, which protect your body’s cells from free radical damage, leading to better functioning of cells and in turn improved metabolism and weight loss.
