1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toasted wheat germ with brown sugar and honey (optional)

CooksRecipes.com Tips:
- Be flavor creative and
mix and match using other fresh or frozen fruits and fruit juices
like cut-up peaches and mango nectar or bananas with orange juice...or
simply use milk in place of the juice.
- For a thicker smoothie,
toss a handful of ice cubes into the blender and process until
smooth.
