Ingredients:
• 1 cup cold chocolate milk (dairy or favorite plant-based chocolate milk)
• 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced (frozen slices work great for an extra-thick shake)
• 1 tablespoon wheat germ (plus extra for garnish)
• ½ cup crushed ice
Directions:
• Add the cold chocolate milk, sliced banana, 1 tablespoon of wheat germ, and ice into a high-speed blender.
• Pulse a few times to crush the ice, then blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds.
• Stop and scrape down the sides of the pitcher with a silicone spatula.
• Blend on high for an additional 15–20 seconds until frosty, thick, and completely smooth.
• Pour into chilled glasses, dust the top with an extra sprinkle of wheat germ, and serve immediately.
