High Energy Morning Shake/Smoothie

This smoothie may look similar to the Mixed Berry Smoothie I made the other day. I assure you they are not the same, nor do they taste the same.

On Tuesday I took a 'Summer Cooler' class that was offered at the local College. Oh my! It was so fun! The instructor made five different drinks and tuille cookies. I went away with recipes for all of them plus a few more. We were also given alot of different ideas and many tips and tricks.

The smoothie I made today is adapted from her recipe. I've added more fruit and raw wheat germ and skipped the salt. I also call mine a smoothie versus a shake. In the overall scheme of things I don't think it matters. Hers was delicious and I like my version equally as well. They are so filling! I made this later this morning, so it's actually my lunch today.

This made about 24-1/2 ounces and if you are following Weight Watchers the PointsPlus per approximately 6 ounces would be 3. If this is too much for you to drink, you can save it in the fridge for maybe a day or freeze it in a container and eat it like ice cream. You could always put it in the little popsicle containers or use small dixie cups and just add a stick.
