    If you're hesitant to try green smoothies, then this is definitely the recipe for you! Although it's green and packed with nutrients, the majority of the flavor of the smoothie comes from the bananas and pears, which makes it taste really fruity.

    Smoothies are a great way to increase your fruit and vegetable consumption, and this simple recipe is a perfect place to start!

    Ingredients

    To make this green pear smoothie, you will need pears, spinach, bananas (fresh or frozen), water, your choice of milk such as oat milk, almond milk or cow's milk, and cinnamon.

    I recommend using frozen bananas, as they help to chill the smoothie, and ensure that it's perfectly cold.

    The ingredients required to make pear smoothie laid out on a table.

    Instructions

    Dice the pears and bananas, and add all the ingredients to a blender. I like to add the liquids first, then the soft ingredients, then the harder ingredients on top, as I find that this helps the blender work.

    Blend for a few minutes, until you have created a smooth mixture. You might have to stop the blender a few times to scrape down the sides.

    Pour the pear smoothie into glasses or a jug, then serve!

    Top tips

    Here's my best tips to help you succeed with this green pear smoothie:

    • Use frozen ripe bananas for extra sweetness, and to ensure that the smoothie is properly chilled.
    • The blending is much easier if you add the liquid ingredients first, and the hard ingredients last.

    Serving suggestions

    This smoothie is great as a quick and easy breakfast on the go, but you can also enjoy it as a snack, or a refreshing beverage.

    If you're looking to serve it with something to eat, you can check out my collection of healthy breakfast recipes, or try my favorite smashed egg on toast or barley porridge.

    Variations

    Here are some of my favorite variations of this recipe:

    Kale pear smoothie: Replace the spinach with kale for a more wholesome smoothie option.

    High protein: Add some protein powder, and a little more water to the smoothie if you want a high protein version.

    Other fruits: Feel free to use or add any other fruits to the smoothie. Keep in mind that if you add extra solid ingredients, the smoothie will be thicker, and you might have to add more water to achieve the right consistency.

    Leftovers

    Leftover green pear smoothie can be stored in a sealed jug or bottle in a refrigerator for up to 2 days. The smoothie will most likely separate over time. If this happens, you simply have to shake the smoothie until it's an evenly incorporated drink again, then serve.
