Pear Green Smoothie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

 Pear Green Smoothie | Dietitian Debbie DishesAre you still recovering from your Halloween celebrations last night? Or maybe you ate just a few too many pieces of candy yesterday? (To be honest, I know I did!) Hit the reset button this morning with this refreshing pear green smoothie. This smoothie has everything you need to get back on your feet. An added bonus is that a lot of the ingredients in this smoothie are also great for your skin, so you could think of it as a sippable beauty treatment. 

  • Almond butter provides healthy fats and Vitamin E which plays an important role in preventing tissue damage – ie. wrinkles.
  • This smoothie provides over 100% of your daily needs for Vitamin A which also is important for building and maintaining healthy skin, teeth, and bones. 
  • A good balance of healthy fiber, protein, and fat in this smoothie helps you feel satisfied and full for longer than a fruit and vegetable based juice. 

A couple tips for those of you who may have tried spinach in your smoothies before and been disappointed when it was chunky: use baby spinach leaves and put the spinach into the blender first and layer the other ingredients over top. Investing in a more powerful blender also makes green smoothies more palatable. I remember the first time I tried to make a green smoothie in my $20 Target blender, it was chewy and gross. I never tried a green smoothie again for a long time after that! I put off investing in a better blender for a long time, but now I can see that it is totally worth every extra penny.

    I love pears! One of my favorite fruits of the season (besides apples!)

      Same here! I always indulge a bit on the weekends, so a healthy smoothie like this one is my favorite way to start off the following week. 🙂
