Note

For a thinner consistency, add more orange juice or water. For a thicker smoothie, add extra ice or frozen fruit.

You can substitute the peach yogurt with plain yogurt and add a drizzle of honey for sweetness if preferred.

Wheat germ adds texture and nutrition; if unavailable, you can omit it or substitute with ground flaxseed or chia seeds.

Serve immediately for the best texture, as the ice will melt over time.

Ensure all fruit is ripe for the sweetest flavor. Frozen bananas can be used for a colder, thicker smoothie without needing as much ice.
