5 Pear Smoothie Ideas You’ll Crave All Year Long

Pears don’t get nearly enough love in the smoothie world. They’re naturally sweet, silky when blended, and packed with fiber that keeps things creamy without adding a ton of sugar. Plus, they play nice with everything from warm spices to fresh herbs. Ready to upgrade your blender game?

Below are five bold, crave-worthy smoothies that spotlight pears in totally different ways. We’re talking cozy, green, tropical, dessert-y, and a little fancy. Grab a ripe pear (or three) and let’s blend some magic.

1. Cozy Pear Pie Smoothie That Tastes Like Dessert for Breakfast

This one is fall-in-a-glass. It’s creamy, warmly spiced, and sweet without being cloying. Think apple pie vibes, but lighter and smoother thanks to the pear’s buttery texture. Great for chilly mornings or anytime you want a dessert-y treat that still feels wholesome.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped (no need to peel if skin is thin)
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or dairy milk)
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3–4 ice cubes
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Add the almond milk, yogurt, and oats to the blender first.
2. Toss in the pear, frozen banana, maple syrup, spices, vanilla, salt, and ice.
3. Blend on high until ultra-smooth and creamy, 30–45 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon.
4. Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top.

Pro tip: Swap the oats for a graham cracker if you want serious “pie” energy. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and thin with a splash more milk as needed.

2. Pear-Ginger Green Glow Smoothie That Actually Tastes Refreshing

Greens, but make them delicious. Pear’s gentle sweetness calms the spinach while fresh ginger brings zip and brightness. It’s the kind of smoothie that wakes you up without tasting like lawn clippings—seriously.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped
• 1 packed cup baby spinach (or kale, stems removed)
• 1/2 small cucumber, chopped
• 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 3/4 cup coconut water (or cold water)
• 1/2 green apple, chopped (optional for extra tang)
• 5–6 ice cubes
• 1 teaspoon honey or agave (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Blend the coconut water, spinach, and cucumber first until smooth.
2. Add pear, ginger, lime juice, green apple (if using), honey, salt, and ice.
3. Blend on high until silky and bright green. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water.
4. Taste and tweak: more lime for zing, more honey if you want it sweeter.

Serving idea: Garnish with a thin pear slice and a mint sprig. Want extra fiber? Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds and let the smoothie sit 2 minutes before drinking so it thickens slightly.

3. Tropical Pear Piña Colada Smoothie (Beach Vibes, No Passport Required)

If you love a piña colada but want something lighter, this is your moment. Pear and pineapple are a dream team, and coconut milk brings that lush, vacation-y feel. It’s sunshine in a glass—without the hangover.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped
• 3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup light coconut milk (from a can) or coconut beverage
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon honey or simple syrup (optional)
• 4–5 ice cubes
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Combine coconut milk, water, and shredded coconut in the blender.
2. Add pear, pineapple, lime zest and juice, sweetener (if using), salt, and ice.
3. Blend until creamy and frosty. Adjust thickness with more water or ice.
4. Pour into a chilled glass and dust the top with a bit more shredded coconut.

Variation: Add a few fresh basil leaves before blending for a subtle herbal twist. For a mocktail vibe, splash in a little sparkling water on top and stir gently.

4. Pear-Matcha Morning Energizer With Almond Butter

Need a smooth, steady boost? Matcha brings calm caffeine, while almond butter and oats make it satisfying. Pear adds natural sweetness and that velvety body so you don’t miss the coffee shop latte—you’ve got this at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped
• 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk (or your favorite milk)
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free)
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 tablespoon rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon ceremonial-grade matcha powder
• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3–4 ice cubes
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Whisk the matcha with a splash of warm water until smooth and lump-free (or shake in a small jar).
2. Add oat milk, yogurt, almond butter, oats, and the matcha to the blender.
3. Add pear, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and ice. Blend until creamy and pale green.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness. If too thick, add a bit more milk and blend briefly.

Pro tip: Top with a tiny drizzle of almond butter and a sprinkle of hemp seeds. If you prefer less caffeine, use 1/2 teaspoon matcha and boost vanilla instead.

5. Pear, Cardamom & Tahini Smoothie That Feels Way Fancier Than It Is

This one is a little unexpected and completely irresistible. Tahini brings nutty depth, cardamom adds perfume-y warmth, and pear ties it all together with mellow sweetness. It’s like your favorite café special, minus the long line.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pear, cored and chopped
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cashew milk (or almond milk)
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 tablespoon honey or date syrup (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 4–5 ice cubes
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Add milk and yogurt to the blender, then tahini and honey.
2. Add pear, cardamom, cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, and ice.
3. Blend on high until glossy and smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. Taste and fine-tune: a touch more honey for sweetness or a pinch more cardamom for aroma.

Serving suggestion: Finish with a light drizzle of tahini and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. If you like extra chill, freeze pear chunks in advance and skip some of the ice for a thicker, creamier sip.

How To Pick and Prep Pears

Choose pears that yield slightly at the neck when pressed—firm pears can ripen on the counter in a day or two. Keep the skin on for more fiber and color unless it’s very thick. To prevent browning when prepping ahead, toss chopped pear with a squeeze of lemon.

Blending Tips for Silky Smoothies

• Layer smart: liquids first, then softer ingredients, then frozen items on top.
• Go longer than you think—an extra 10–15 seconds makes it ultra-smooth.
• Balance flavors: a pinch of salt and a squeeze of citrus brighten everything.
