5 stars! One of the best smoothies I've had in awhile. I used FROZEN peaches, and the consistency was perfect. Could drink this everyday. And I love the simple, healthy ingredients. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is a tastey little smoothie. I used frozen peaches and fat free vanilla yogurt. I also needed a little milk to thin it out a bit. The wheat germ was a nice, nutty addition.

We enjoyed this. I thought it was a little sweeter then I would like and so I think I would use about half the amount of honey called for. Also, I didn't realize I was so low on wheat germ so I used only about 1/8 of a cup. That whirred up well and did not give me any kind of problem with texture.

I did not have fresh peaches and opted to use frozen as a result it was necessary to thin the smoothie a little with some vanilla soy milk. Overall a pretty good healthy quick snack.

Loved this up to the point the wheat germ was added. I don't think the smoothie benefited from the addition, and I like the taste of wheat germ.
