Blueberry Wheat Germ Smoothie


It's blueberry season!  Refresh yourself with this delicious, creamy blueberry smoothie.  Rich in vitamins and high in fiber - it makes for a great start to your day!  For a lower calorie version (185 calories), substitute 1 cup of the blueberries for 1 cup of ice.



Ingredients:
Yields 12 ounces


  • 2 c blueberries, frozen
  • 1/4 c nonfat milk
  • 1/4 c orange juice
  • 1/2 tbsp honey, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp toasted wheat germ

Directions:

In a food processor or blender, combine the blueberries, milk, orange juice, honey, and wheat germ.  Process until smooth and creamy.

Garnish with blueberries.  Enjoy!

  1. Frozen berries beat fresh here — they thicken it without needing ice, which just waters the flavour down. A spoon of Greek yoghurt adds body, and a squeeze of lemon stops it tasting flat. Banana is optional but makes it creamier. Saw the same approach while browsing https://funbet-uk.co.uk and it matched how I make mine.
