Smoothie Blends

Thought you may want to know what the basic smoothie begins with especially if you are a smoothie newbie. The following recipe is pretty much what all smoothies begin with and all you have to do is add to it from there. Please note that anything I put optional beside is totally up to you to add into the recipe.

Basic Smoothie or Smoothie Beginnings

Ingredients

* 1/2 cup yogurt (any flavor, but plain is a nice start)
* 1/2 cup milk or juice (use whole, 2%, low-fat, or skim)
* 1/2 cup chopped fruit (fresh or frozen)
* 1 teaspoon wheat germ (optional)
* 1/2 cup ice cubes/crushed ice (optional but will really cool a smoothie down)
