How I Blend It: My Step-by-Step Ritual

Here’s exactly how I make my Peachy Power Smoothie each morning:

1. Start with yogurt: I scoop 1 cup of low-fat vanilla yogurt into the blender for a creamy, protein-rich base.
2. Add fruit: In goes 1 ripe banana and 1 cup of sliced peaches. If I have frozen peaches, I use those for extra chill!
3. Sprinkle wheat germ: I measure out 1/4 cup wheat germ, then save a little for topping.
4. Pour in OJ: 1/4 cup orange juice adds brightness and helps everything blend.
5. Top with ice: 1 cup of ice cubes for that frosty texture.
6. Blend: I blend on high for about a minute, until it’s smooth and creamy.
7. Serve: I pour into a tall glass, garnish with peach slices, and sprinkle with wheat germ.

My Tips, Tricks, and Discoveries

• Protein boost: Sometimes I add a scoop of unflavored protein powder if I’m heading to the gym.
• Fiber fix: If I want even more fiber, a tablespoon of chia seeds blends right in (and helps keep me full for hours).
• Digestive support: The probiotics in yogurt can help balance gut flora, especially when enjoyed regularly.
• Flavor swap: Swapping orange juice for pineapple juice gives a tropical twist.
• Prep ahead: I portion out the fruit and wheat germ into freezer bags on Sunday nights, so weekday mornings are a breeze.
