Blend up your own pear smoothie recipes! Learn how to blend up your own healthy smoothie recipes for your family and friends!
Many people do not like using bananas in their smoothies. Substituting pears for bananas is one of the great ways to avoid bananas. Use one pear in place of one banana in a smoothie recipe.
#1 Ripeness
Make sure that you purchase fully ripened pears. I find that organic pears are juicier and sweeter than conventional pears.
There was a great sale on conventional pears last week. But I didn’t buy any because they were as hard as a rock! But then I went to the local health food store and bought some organic pears. They were delightfully juicy! You will not be sorry for buying higher quality pears.
Using flavorful, fully ripened pears are a must for a great smoothie.
#2 Buy Bulk
To
make great tasting smoothies with pears, save money by buying your
organic pears in bulk. If you cannot finish the box of pears that you
bought... cut them in half and remove the cores, and freeze for future smoothies. I usually find the canning pears sold in boxes during late summer.
Enjoy your smoothies!
