I first learned of Energy Soup when I discovered Ann Wigmore. You can read all about her in my previous post. I was fortunate enough to taste this soup for the first time when I was completing my Raw Chef certification. Even though it looks disgusting, trust me it is yummy. I fell in love with it then and I am still in love. I decided to make a very simple version of this nutritious, healing soup.

"Contemplation is recognizing the mirrors of God's love in all of creation and that true contemplation lifts us up from being bent down and focused on ourselves." — from Dating God Well I am now down from 4 - 2oz shots per day to 2-2oz shots per day. I was recovering from a surgery and really wanted the healing power of the grass to be in overdrive. That is why I started out doing the 2 oz shots 4 x/day. This was recommended in a couple of books, one of which was by Ann Wigmore. If anyone knows anything about wheat grass it is Ann Wigmore.

I finally achieved my goal of growing wheatgrass!! For the past two years I had set the same goal: To learn how to grow my own wheatgrass and then actually DO IT! I purchased the best book possible for learning how to do it. If you want to learn how to grow wheatgrass who better to learn from than Ann Wigmore. She is the wheatgrass queen. When her book was written, in 1985, she had been using wheatgrass for three decades, on a daily basis! Get the point?! I personally would not want to learn this process from anyone else but her. Her book is titled, The Wheatgrass Book . The most important component to growing wheatgrass is the seed. You must buy good quality organic seeds. Only purchase them from a supplier you can trust. Good seed = great grass! I am fortunate enough to have a local organic market that I trust but if you prefer to order online I suggest you try Got Sprouts. After reading Ann's book I got busy soaking. The seeds need to be soaked in filtered or spring w...
