This Spiced Pear Smoothie recipe is super tasty and easy to make. It is made with clean, nourishing ingredients like fresh pears, banana, milk, yogurt, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. It makes an ideal breakfast smoothie, because it is refined sugar-free and is so effortless. Learn how to make a healthy homemade smoothie with this quick and healthy recipe!

You are going to love this pear smoothie recipe, because it is packed with nutritious ingredients and is so simple to make. It makes a delicious breakfast that will keep you satiated all morning. The fiber from the pears and the banana slows digestion, which helps to keep you feeling full. The cinnamon provides a solid dose of antioxidants and can also help to lower blood sugar levels.

How to Make a Spiced Pear Smoothie

To make this homemade spiced pear smoothie recipe, simply:

  1. Add all of the ingredients – pears, banana, milk, yogurt, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg – to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pro Tip: When adding your smoothie ingredients to your blender, always add the liquid (in this recipe, the milk) first near the blades. Doing this will help your blender to run a bit more easily

Possible Recipe Variations

This homemade smoothie recipe is very flexible with regards to variations. For example, feel free to…

  • Swap in non-dairy milk: I generally use dairy milk when making smoothies, but you can use any kind of milk you like. Unsweetened almond, coconut, soy, hemp, oat, or any other type of plant-based milk are all terrific options.
  • Use a different sweetener: Rather than honey, you can substitute another natural and unrefined sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. Alternatively, you can throw in one or two pitted dates instead of a liquid sweetener.
  • Stir in some collagen: Adding collagen peptides to smoothies majorly boosts their protein content. Collagen is also known to improve the condition of skin, hair, nails, joints, ligaments and is great for gut health. I recommend using one that is all-natural, unflavored and unsweetened. I use this one from Thrive Market.

Those are just a few suggestions, so feel free to experiment with whatever ingredient swaps or additions that sound good to you.

My Favorite Hack for Making Smoothies

I’m sure you know by now that drinking smoothies on a regular basis is super beneficial for your health. However, many people don’t drink smoothies often enough because they don’t have the time to shop for ingredients, measure them out, and chop them up. If you struggle to drink smoothies regularly due to lack of time, I highly recommend signing up for a smoothie delivery service.

Based on my research, my top choice for healthy smoothie delivery is SmoothieBox. SmoothieBox sends everything you need to make nutritionally-balanced smoothies (in pre-portioned, ready-to-blend smoothie pouches) straight to your doorstep. To learn more about SmoothieBox and my other favorite smoothie delivery services, check out this post I wrote: The 7 Best Healthy & Affordable Smoothie Delivery Services. In that article, I review and compare a number of different smoothie delivery companies based on affordability, convenience, value, and quality.

      Thanks Heather! Pears taste great in a smoothie, they kind of give it an applesauce-like consistency. I like my smoothies nice and thick too – and the yogurt gives it a good dose of protein as well! 🙂

    Any recommendations for something in place of banana?

      Hi Lauren! Yes, I recommend using an avocado. Avocado has a different flavor profile (and color!) than banana, but it will make your smoothie thick and creamy. You might need to use a bit more sweetener in your smoothie, since avocados aren’t naturally sweet the way bananas are.
