***Nutritional Additives***
You can increase the nutritional value of your smoothies even more by adding optional high-fiber or high-energy ingredients. How this affects the taste varies but usually it will not taste much different. Here are a few suggestions, two courtesy of Darren Apfel:
1 T. Wheat Germ
1/4 c. uncooked oatmeal
1/4 c. Post 100% bran cereal
1 T. Protein powder
Milk substituted for part of juice/lemonade
