Dillon Drank . . . A Grand Slam At “Arden’s Garden” Juice Bar

Waddap With The Wheatgrass?

Since moving to ATL, I’ve discovered the benefits of Wheatgrass. This is the same juice bar Andre’ 3000 is said to frequent, so I figured I’d be kickin it here on the regular. The “Grand Slam” is four shots of naturally pressed juice, some ole real shit. They have a science to it. This shit makes you feel ready to roll! Bong Bong!

(Clockwise) - Wheatgrass, Ginger, Cranberry, Lemon.
