Germ is not the same as gluten, but it contains gluten.

In any case, wheat products, even if handled carefully, are almost guaranteed to have gluten in them due to cross-contamination.

Will raw wheat germ make our smoothie bitter?

If the wheat germ is freshly prepared from wheat grains it will not be bitter. However, wheat germ contains oils that quickly go rancid as soon as the grain is ground and the wheat germ separated out. It is the rancid oils in stale wheat germ that cause the bitter taste. When the wheat germ is rancid it no longer has any special nutritive value. If a package of wheat germ is on sale, it is probably because it went rancid and the store manager knows it.
