Notes
Make it creamy: Want a richer texture? Add half a banana, a splash of almond milk, or a spoonful of yogurt. These creamy add-ins blend well with the pear and peach flavors without overpowering them.
Go greener: Spinach is mild and blends right in, but you can swap it for kale, chard, or even romaine if you’re looking to change things up. Just know some greens have a stronger flavor, so start with a smaller amount. Check out my Leafy Greens Guide for more ways to add greens to smoothies.
Protein boost: Turn your pear smoothie into a full-on meal by adding a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, hemp hearts or other superfoods for smoothies. You can also blend in ½ cup of silken tofu for a creamy, protein-rich twist.
Flavor twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon, fresh ginger, or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the natural sweetness of the pear and peach. A little goes a long way!
