Pear Smoothie Bowls are a delicious and nutritious way to keep healthy during the Holidays. Vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and no refined sugars! Finding fresh, seasonal fruits to blend into green smoothies can be a little harder during the late fall and winter. Pears, which are at their peak now, make a great choice.
The holidays are a crazy time. Every now and then, I need to step back from the food madness and go back to basics. If you love smoothies as much as we do, you will want to check out all of my delicious smoothie recipes.

What types of pear are good in smoothies?
- Forelle pears are tangy, crisp, and super sweet. They pair well with cheese on a cheese platter. These are one of the least varieties of pears, just bigger than Seckel.
- Asian pears are very crispy with a mild flavor. They can be a refreshing treat for warmer days since they are available year-round.
- Comice pears are sweet with a buttery flesh. They are very good when paired with cheese, particularly soft cheese like Brie or blue cheese.
- Bartlett pears are soft and super juicy when ripe, but they will crumble when cooked. They are perfect for pear sauce and pear butter.
- Bosc is crisp with a delicate, sweet flavor; it will keep its shape when cooked, perfect for tart, pie, or poached.
- Anjous are firm with a mild flavor. They are also a good choice when you need them to keep their shape when cooked.

Okay, it is time to take your breakfast to the next level with this pear smoothie recipe. This breakfast smoothie recipe is so good! You can drink this green pear smoothie for breakfast, especially for people obsessed with smoothie bowls.
This healthy smoothie bowl recipe is packed with so much flavor and protein that it is an ideal way to start your day. Because of the Anjou pears, this smoothie is slightly green. My kids balk at veggies in smoothies, but you can easily sneak some in if your kids are more laid back about their smoothies!
This pear smoothie is delicious and can be ready in less than 5 minutes. Even better? This recipe is entirely customizable. Garnish the smoothie bowl with unsweetened coconut, pear slices, and pecans.
Substitutions and Variations:
- I used Flaxmilk to make this smoothie. You can also use almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk to keep it vegan.
- Add other fruits like apples, mango, or pineapple.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom.
