Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup yogurt (any flavor)
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup juice
1 banana
1/2 cup chopped fruit (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon wheat germ (optional)
1/2 cup ice cube (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all together in a blender and serve immediately.
  • The optional wheat germ will not affect the taste or texture but it will give your smoothie an extra health boost.
  • Add the ice cubes if you'd like a thicker or colder drink; more like a slushy, especially with frozen banana/fruit/yogurt.
  • Use up to 1 cup of yogurt for a thicker drink.
  • Other options: 1/2 t vanilla; 1 T honey; 1-2 T powdered sugar, white sugar or Splenda.
