Name: Citrus Berry Smoothie
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 ¼ cups fresh berries; ¾ cup low-fat plain yogurt; ½ cup orange juice; 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk; 1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ; 1 tablespoon honey; ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

This meal-in-a-glass smoothie is bursting with berries and orange juice, healthful sources of carbohydrate and powerful antioxidants. Getting plenty of antioxidant-rich foods makes sense for active people, since free radicals are produced any time the body's cells process oxygen.

Way too many carbs
As much as I love the color of this smoothie and the fruitiness of it, but with 70 gram net carbs I will not put that in the category healthy.
I won't be making it. That's for sure! Sorry!
Pros: Fruity
Cons: Too high in carbs

I use blueberries and strawberries. My two year old will even drink this. I usually do it for lunch as I don't always have time to cook and I avoid fast food like a plague. Pros: Tastes great. Cons: It's a bit higher calorie for my diet.

432 Calories?
I almost didn't make this because of the calorie count, but then I added up the calories on my own and came up with 315 (didn't add the dry milk though). It was delicious! Next time I won't use so many fresh raspberries to avoid so many seeds, but strawberries with blueberries would be wonderful.



MMMM, good
I like this idea, but I like to add a dash of protein powder, that is vanilla flavor so I leave out the vanilla, and add cimmamon to aid witht the processing of all the sugar.  Honey is a magic substance, but it is sugar.



made this as is but boosted the nutrition by adding a couple tablespoons of flax seed.


This drink packed a punch I think it needs some banana or somethin to add some sweetness to it.




Great recipe. When using fresh fruit I add some crushed ice. Also works well with vanilla yogurt--just leave out the honey and vanilla.




This is a great tasting smoothie!
