Fall is in the air!
On our way home from a shopping trip my mom and I stopped at a fruit stand. Everything looked soooo good (I love this time of year)! After some debating I settled on a box of pears and a box of apples. The pears were really ripe and by the next morning I thought the fruit flies were going to pick up my kitchen and fly away. I quickly started a big batch of pear butter (I’ll share that recipe later) and then I froze a bunch to use in future smoothies. What was left, nicely fit in the fridge and we are still enjoying fresh pears and fall smoothies. After putting up a couple fly strips, my kitchen is now (mostly) fly free again!
Here are two wonderful, healthy fall smoothies!
Cinnamon Pear Smoothie
All you need is: 2 pears (cored and quartered) – 1 frozen banana (cut into pieces) – 1 cup of milk (any kind) – 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt – 1/2 cup oatmeal – 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon – a pinch of nutmeg.
Put everything in a blender and puree until nice and smooth. This makes enough for 3 of us to have a nice size smoothie.
Apple and Pear Smoothie
You will need: 1 ripe pear (cored and quartered) – 2 apples (cored, peeled and cut into pieces) – 1 frozen banana (peeled & cut into pieces) – 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt – 1/2 cup of apple juice – 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Throw it all in the blender and puree until smooth.
These make a healthy breakfast or snack….it’s like fall in a cup!

OH WOW! What yummy recipes. We are BIG smoothie drinkers here. I always keep frozen banana slices on hand to make them. Love the addition of things like oatmeal (& no one knows!) Going to have to try adding pears. Thanks so much for sharing at Weekend Potluck. Please do come back soon.
I do a lot of smoothies in the mornings. I have never thought of putting oatmeal in them. I will definitely try that.

Hi Grace! I had a question–do you use quick oats or old-fashioned oats for your smoothies?

Hi Hannah, I use quick oats….should have added that little detail. 🙂
Oh, haha, that’s okay! I’ve wondered that on several recipe blogs though 🙂 Thank you!
