The Good Germ

January 19, 2011 by Julie 51 Comments

The good germ = Wheat germ!

Yogurt + Nectarine + Wheat Germ

I actually eat wheat germ by the spoonful! I know it tastes great in granola and is fantastic in cookies, but I think it’s pretty darn fantastic on its own.

It also added a lot to my morning yogurt breakfast bowl.

Wednesday Morning Meal

Vanilla Greek yogurt + Nectarine + Wheat germ

I also grabbed a banana to eat on the run.

Grab 'n' Go!

Workout + Walk

Breakfast was enjoyed after a quick workout (BodyPump) and a 2.5 mile walk with Ryan and Sadie.

Walk Me!

I will be taking a photography class this evening and won’t have much time to hang out with these two tonight, so I enjoyed a our family fun walk a lot this morning.

On that note, off to work! Gotta pay ‘dem bills! 😀

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    Wheat germ is great. I’ve never tried it in yogurt. Can’t wait to see the results of your photography class.

    Hey Julie! That’s so cool that you’re taking a photography class. It’s one of my to-do’s for 2011 and I’m really excited to learn more about it. Do you have an SLR camera? If so, what are you using? I’m thinking about getting a Canon Rebel but am wondering if I should wait, take the class, then make the purchase. Love that photo of Sadie!

      i’ve heard great things about the rebel. i actually own a nikon d3000. i love it, but i am definitely not using it to its full potential. i need some serious lessons in photography!

    I think I’ve only ever had wheat germ cooked into things. Never on its own.

    And how fun on the photography class tonight! glad you still got the family time this morning too. 🙂

    Have fun at the photography class! I took photography for two years in high school with one of the old-school cameras and loved it. I would love to go back and take another class with more up-to-date equipment!

    I actually heard that wheat germ and chia seeds are good sleep aids, which is so funny because I always see it in breakfast food! I want to try this the next time I go to Trader Joes!

    That’s one of my New Year’s Resolutions, so I was wondering if you would be so kind as to put some of the best gems of knowledge you learn on your blog, perhaps as a beginner’s guide to photography for blogs? I think it would be a great hit!

    Enjoy that banana, looks yummy.

    Does whet germ have any taste or do you just add it add more nutrients and fiber? Ps. could it be a substitute for like cornmeal or arrowroot?

      January 19, 2011 at 11:39 am

      it has a slightly sweet taste to it… so good! i don’t know about using it as a substitute, but it’s lighter in texture than cornmeal.

    I REALLY need to take a photography class…I take every photo on the auto setting! By the way, I used your video to curl my hair with a straightener last night. I was so excited by how it turned out, and then I went to bed and ruined it haha. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it!
