Wheat Germ Smoothie

I had a request of a wheat germ smoothie and didn’t have any smoothie recipes with wheat germ as a big part of the ingredients. I found this one on eHow, but if you have one you would like to share please submit to blenderman@smoothieweb.com.

Ingredients

1 ripe medium banana
1 cup vanilla low-fat or nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 cup cracked ice
1 cup sliced fresh peaches or banana slices

Preparation:

Cut banana into chunks.
Put banana and yogurt in a blender with peaches, orange juice and wheat germ.
Add cracked ice.
Blend until smooth.
Serve immediately in tall glass.
Garnish with peach or banana slices and sprinkle 2 tsp. wheat germ on top.

Lime Smoothie

It is time for lime, as in a refreshing lime smoothie recipe. I personally love the taste of lime and you’ll notice there are not too many smoothie recipes for this wonderful fruit. Of course to make it more palatable I have add some great sweeteners. Let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup lime (sliced)
3/4 cup low-fat milk
1 cup lime sherbet (can be light or low fat)
1/2 cup raspberries
2 cups ice

You can substitute key lime yogurt for the sherbet for a smoother, albeit, slightly different taste.

Berry Berry Blast Smoothie

Berries are probably my favorite smoothie ingredients and this berry smoothie has a truckload of berries, and feel free to shove some boysenberries in here as well or substitute. You can’t go wrong combining berries in a berry smoothie.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 blackberries
1 cup low-fat yogurt (some type of berry yogurt would be best, but plain is fine too)
1/4 cup low-fat milk or 1/2 cup fat-free milk
2 cups of ice

While this smoothie is heavy on berries doesn’t lack of great flavor variety. I haven’t tried it with boysenberry but I would love to hear about it. Let me know if you try it. Blend until smooth.
