Vanilla Pear Smoothie Recipe
We love our breakfast drinks around here and this is one of our favorites! It’s easy to make, and it has a wonderful sweetness to it that is a nice alternative to the berry and banana drinks that we have so often.
This is also a great drink to make when you find that your pears are turning ripe quicker than you had expected, and I have also used this recipe to make homemade ice pops for the kids!
Here’s what you need to make your delicious pear smoothie recipe.
Ingredients for making Vanilla Pear Smoothies
- 1 large pear or 2 small pears
- 1 banana
- ½ cup apple juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Wash and dice the pear into small pieces, you may also need to peel the pear if the kind you are using has thicker skin. Place the pear pieces into a blender.
We love our Ninja blender, it’s perfect for tasks like this.
Add the banana, apple juice, and vanilla. If you want a cool treat you can use a frozen banana instead of fresh and add in a few ice cubes.
Blend all of the ingredients together until completely smooth.
Serve immediately.
Of course, with all smoothies, you can change this one up as you see fit!
We love to add berries, bananas and even orange juice – it all really depends what we have in the fridge.
I think that they key is to get creative, you really can’t mess these up!

i am wondering if i might repost this recipe as my inspiration for a kombucha version. i am the marketing manager at Kombucha Wonder Drink, and like to provide our customers with inspirational ways to use our kombuchas. i can definitely see this recipe swapping out the apple juice for our Asian Pear Ginger kombucha! In fact, we are trialing it tomorrow in our office kitchen.
Please let me know if I might credit you with the inspiration! Thanks.
