Everyone needs a new smoothie recipe in their lives! This high-fiber and high-protein berry smoothie recipe is not only delicious – it’s also a meal-in-a-glass. It’s full of powerful antioxidants and healthy carbohydrates. This citrus berry smoothie is perfect for a snack, a healthy dessert or breakfast.
While you may recognize some standard smoothie ingredients, this citrus berry smoothie recipe’s signature ingredient (besides the berries!) is orange juice. And like many of my favorite recipes, you can make it in just one step!
A healthy, often overlooked, ingredient in this smoothie recipe is wheatgerm. Wheatgerm is the part of the grain that is responsible for the growth of the new plant sprout. It's very small, but mighty. Wheatgerm has many health benefits, and is an excellent source of folate, magnesium, thiamin, phosphorus and zinc. Plus, you won't even know it's in this creamy smoothie recipe. And don't forget the health benefits of berries, the health benefits of yogurt and the health benefits or orange juice!
Serve this antioxidant smoothie recipe for breakfast, as an energizing snack or even for a healthy dessert after dinner.
