Anyone use this in their shakes?

I added this in addition to oatmeal in my whey/milk shakes. It adds some calories- but the main benefit is that it is a decent source of Vit. E and Folic Acid. Supposedly good, good stuff. I can't hardly taste it (although I wish I could because I love the taste) and it blends well in the shake.


I recommend trying it.

Anyone know anything more about the benefits or disadvantages of wheat germ?

Good idea!

Store it in the freezer.

I've been using Brewer's Yeast myself.

On a side note, I didn't know that Wheat Germ was supposed to be refrigerated. I have a jar of it that's been stored at room temperature for like a year. The label says nothing about storing it cold...is that just preference?

If you haven't opened it, it should be fine. If you have opened it, I would throw it out.

And yes, I've always used wheat germ in my shakes. My father has been adding wheat germ to shakes for over 30 years.

I eat it by the spoonful if I just want something to munch on.
