Vita-Mix

I have an Omega 8005 juicer and it works great for wheatgrass as of now. I am considering purchasing a Vita-Mix blender.

I've read that we can't eat wheatgrass whole because our bodies cannot digest it, so we must juice it to obtain the nutrients. Apparently Vita-mix's breakdown foods so the body can get all the nutrients from whatever is being blended.

That said, if I got a Vita-Mix blender, could I put wheatgrass in the blender and grind it down to drink it? Could my body digest it because it is so broken down? (since juicing alone does not get all of the nutrients from the grass, or even any fruit/vegetable that is juiced because nutrients are left in the pulp). If this would work I could get more nutrients from the wheatgrass.

Thanks
