This delicious smoothie is a great way to start your day and is a great breakfast option for people on-the-go.

I use this smoothie about 2-3 times a week for breakfast and I love it. 
Wheat germ and everything.

Nummers! I made this for my boys this afternoon and they loved it. I doubled the recipe and used Non-fat plain yogurt with a spash of vanilla and left out the wheat germ because I was out and then added a few ice cubes. Delish and very healthy. Thanks for sharing!

I made this using grape juice and Greek yogurt (full-fat) not only is it a lovely colour, it's absolutely delicious! I used a frozen banana, and omitted the wheat germ, I also added in a small amount of sugar, what a great recipe, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten

A wonderful fruit smoothie! I love how it is so sweet without even adding sugar. I sliced up a banana and froze it, used fresh blueberries and added a couple of ice cubes. Delicious!
