This healthy smoothie bowl recipe is packed with flavor and protein, making it an ideal way to start your day. If you use ripe Anjou pears, your smoothie may be slightly green, but the flavor tastes like juicy pears.
I used a combination of Bosc and Anjou pears for this pear smoothie recipe, but many other pears would also taste delicious. Garnish the smoothie bowl with unsweetened coconut, pear slices, and pecans. If you love pears, wait until you try some of these incredible gluten-free pear recipes!

Recipe Ingredient Notes and Easy Swaps:
- Pears – Use ripe Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett pears. Soft pears will blend best.
- Apple Cider – Apple cider adds delicious flavor. If you have apple juice, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Protein Powder – I used unflavored collagen protein, but any plain or vanilla protein powder should work.
- Yogurt – Use vanilla regular or Greek Yogurt.

A Note From My Kitchen
There’s nothing like a ripe pear. They are sweet, juicy, and full of flavor. In this smoothie bowl, that pear flavor really shines. I left the skins on for added fiber, but you can peel them if you prefer. If your pears are soft and ripe, they’ll blend up into a smooth, creamy bowl that’s as beautiful as it is tasty.

How to Make a Pear Smoothie:
Step 1: Wash and chop your pears, removing the seeds. If your pears are very soft, you can leave the skins on for extra fiber.
Step 2: Add the chopped pears, yogurt, apple cider, protein powder, and a few ice cubes to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Garnish with shredded coconut and pecans. Serve chilled.
Storing Smoothies
Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers for 1–2 hours. Stir before serving, as separation may occur.

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn’t test, my rule of thumb is to add more flour if your dough or batter is wet and add more liquid if the dough or batter is too dry!
