Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe pear, cored and sliced
- 1/2 small banana, preferably frozen
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice, plus more as needed
How To Make It
Add the almond milk to the blender first so the blades can move easily. Add the Greek yogurt, pear slices, banana, oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, and ice.
Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie looks creamy and the chia seeds and oats are well mixed in. If your blender needs a little help, stop and scrape down the sides, then blend again.
Check the texture before serving. For a thinner smoothie, splash in 2 to 4 tablespoons more almond milk. For a thicker spoonable smoothie, add a few extra ice cubes or another tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
Pour into one large glass and enjoy right away. If you want the chia and oats to soften more, let the smoothie sit for 5 minutes after blending, then stir before drinking.
Tips
Use a ripe pear for the best natural sweetness. Bartlett, Anjou, or Bosc pears all work well, and you can leave the peel on for extra texture and fiber.
Frozen banana makes this smoothie creamier and colder without adding extra ice. If using fresh banana, add a little more ice to keep the blend frosty.
For a meal-prep shortcut, add the pear slices, banana, oats, chia, and cinnamon to a freezer bag. In the morning, blend with Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. If you like it brighter, add a small squeeze of lemon juice to balance the pear and yogurt.
Thick, cozy, and easy to blend, this pear chia smoothie is a cheerful breakfast win.
