Will raw wheat germ make our smoothie bitter?

Raw wheat germ can add a slightly nutty flavor to smoothies, but it is not typically bitter.

However, if you use a large amount of wheat germ or if the wheat germ is old or rancid, it may impart a bitter taste.

To avoid this, use a moderate amount of fresh, high-quality wheat germ in your smoothies. You can also try toasting the wheat germ before adding it to the smoothie, as this can help to mellow the flavor.
