    This delicious no-banana smoothie is ready in just 5 minutes, so it's perfect for a quick on-the-go breakfast when you are in a morning rush.

    Hello, pear season!

    Pears are yummy nutrient-dense fruit that gives your pies, fruit salads, cakes, and detox smoothies a fantastic flavor and texture.

    And this pear blueberry smoothie without banana is the perfect way to enjoy this incredibly sweet and fragrant fruit.

    What I love most is that pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants.

    These highly beneficial nutrients may relieve constipation, boost your heart and eye health, reduce inflammation, promote bowel regularity, and aid weight loss.

    Whether you are trying to lose weight, feed your kids with refined sugar-free snacks, or just enjoy a wholesome banana-free treat, this smoothie is definitely worth a try.

    Ingredients

    You will need only 6 whole foods you probably already have on hand to make this immunity-boosting pear and blueberry smoothie recipe:

    Plant-based ingredients for healthy pear smoothie without yogurt or banana.
    • Pear (ripe and juicy). Pears are an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber which are vital for gut health and bowel regularity. To increase the nutrient intake, don't peel your pear.
    • Blueberries (frozen). As one of the top antioxidant foods, blueberries may reduce the risk of various diseases, manage blood pressure, and support immunity. If you use fresh blueberries just add a few ice cubes for that wonderful chill and thick consistency.
    • Natural peanut butter (unsweetened). This protein-packed spread will give your smoothie an indulgent creamy texture and will make it more filling. I love using homemade peanut butter, it's cheap and healthy without added sugars or oils.
    • Chia seeds. Full of protein, antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, these tiny superfoods will add extra nutrients and beautifully thicken up your fruity smoothie.
    • Date. A fascinating dried fruit with caramel-like flavor and surprisingly health benefits will act as a natural sweetener for this smoothie.
    • Plant-based milk (I used homemade almond milk). Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk.

    As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

    Substitutions

    • Peanut butter - cashew butter, walnut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter are all tasty alternatives.
    • Chia seeds - Instead of chia seeds, you can use ground flaxseed, hemp hearts, or pumpkin seeds.
    • Almond milk - You can substitute it with oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or plain cold water.
    • Date - Swap it with pure maple syrup, agave nectar, date syrup, or liquid stevia.

    Variations

    • Add greens - add a handful of spinach, kale, or mixed greens to sneak in more vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
    • Add mixed berries - mix in some raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or cranberries for an additional antioxidant punch and icy touch.
    • Add extra protein - a scoop of plant-based protein powder is a great protein-boosting addition to turn your smoothie into a fat-burning meal.
    • Add oats - blend 2-3 tablespoons of rolled (old-fashioned) oats to transform your smoothie into a satisfying meal replacement for weight loss.
    • Extra creamy - For a richer, creamier texture add vegan Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, banana, or avocado.
    • Make a pear smoothie bowl - Just reduce a little the amount of milk, pour your smoothie into a bowl, and add your favorite toppings.

    Equipment

    All you need to make this no-yogurt blueberry pear smoothie recipe is a high-powered blender.

    Storage

    It's best to enjoy this smoothie right away, while still fresh and cold. However, if you have any leftovers store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

    Top Tips

    1. Use ripe, organic pears since they are the source of sweetness alongside dates.
    2. Don't peel your pears. You don't want to miss that extra fiber and antioxidants found in the peel.
    3. If your smoothie is too thick add more milk or water to thin it out.
    4. If you don't have frozen blueberries just throw in a few ice cubes to make your smoothie nicely cold and thick.
    5. Use a high-speed blender for a silky-smooth smoothie consistency.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Do you have to peel pears for smoothies?

    No, it's best to not peel the skin off a pear because it contains much of the fruit's vitamins, minerals, disease-fighting antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Just make sure you wash it thoroughly before consuming it.

    What goes with pear in a smoothie?

    Apples, bananas, berries, figs, plums, pineapple, greens, cherries, dates, apricots, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, maple syrup, and vanilla all go well with pear in a smoothie.

    Are smoothies good for weight loss?

    Absolutely! Smoothies are a great way to nourish and hydrate your body and supercharge your metabolism.
    In addition, they will keep you full while providing your cells with a daily dose of fiber, antioxidants, and many essential nutrients.
    However, if you want to slim down and lose belly fat you need to drink them as a part of a healthy, well-balanced diet coupled with physical activity and quality sleep.
