Sweet pear in this smoothie with banana and cinnamon for a rich and creamy meal replacement! 

Pear Smoothie

Getting my smoothie fix this week with pears! Sweet and delicious pears, a low calorie, high-fiber fruit is now the star of the season! Lots of healthy nutrients are in these guys; antioxidants, fiber, minerals and vitamins, and even if that doesn’t excite you, pears are just juicy and DELISH!

I added half of a frozen banana to my smoothie for the creamy texture.  I forgot to freeze a pear, so I cored and diced a fresh one. I recommend keeping the skin on. I learned that is where most of the fiber comes from.

Pear Smoothie

For this recipe I used vanilla protein powder and even with over 20 grams of protein, the carbs were a little higher than I prefer. It’s that darn banana that bumps up the count! 1/2 banana has about 15 carbs, which doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up when you add multiple pieces of fruit. I used the smallest pear (23 carbohydrates), and really wouldn’t cut either of those ingredients. The combination is rich and sweet and the dash of cinnamon completes this smoothie.

    I love making smoothies with bananas. My mom did this for us way back in the day when I was a young one 😉 I like to keep carbs low too but fruit always adds carbs and sugars to your diet. They aren’t th bad for you ones though!
