Note

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen peaches and bananas instead of fresh.

You can substitute the wheat germ with granola or chopped nuts for added crunch.

If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
