Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 medium banana frozen for a thicker smoothie
  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 3 tablespoon wheat germ raw or toasted
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Add the milk to the blender first, then layer in the Greek yogurt, banana, blueberries, and wheat germ. Add the honey if using.
  2. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
  3. Pour into a large glass and serve immediately. For a meal-prep option, seal in a mason jar and refrigerate for up to 8 hours — shake vigorously before drinking.

Notes

Net carbs: 35g (40g total carbs minus 5g fiber).
Substitutions: Any berry works — strawberries, raspberries, or a frozen mixed berry blend all produce excellent results. Use coconut yogurt and maple syrup for a fully vegan version.
Storage: Best consumed fresh. If made ahead, store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. Shake or stir before drinking as the wheat germ may settle slightly.
Tips: Using a frozen banana eliminates the need for ice and creates a creamier, colder smoothie without diluting the flavour.
