3-Ingredient Orange Banana Pear Smoothie
This beautiful Pear Smoothie Bowl is a yummy breakfast that’s also perfect for a light mid-afternoon pick me up. It is made with super ripe and sweet Bartlett pear, so no extra sugar of any kind is needed.

- 1 orange peel and slice into 8

- Fresh pear slices
- Crushed pistachio
Instructions
- Put banana, pear and orange in the blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour smoothie into a bowl, garnish with fresh pear slices and crushed pistachio.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use other type of pears beside Bartlett. Make sure it is ripe for optimal flavor. Freezing the diced pears ahead of time is a great way to get a thicker and creamier smoothie.
- I highly recommend using frozen bananas for this smoothie for a creamier texture.
- You can substitute orange juice if you don't have fresh orange. One large orange will yield about ⅓ to ½ cup of juice.
- You can also use other liquid in place of orange or orange juice. Milk or yogurt will work but this does make the smoothie less sweet. Adjust by adding honey or maple syrup to your taste if needed.
- Serve this in a cup without the topping for an easy on the go breakfast.
