    Smoothies are always perfect for a good dose of healthy ingredients, and on repeat in my home. You may also like to see my apple blackberry smoothie and cherry blueberry smoothie for more fruity goodness!

    This smoothie is very simple to make and uses the fruit I always have on my shopping list, as well as pantry staples. Smooth, creamy and oh-so-healthy too.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • Fresh and fruity - packed with apples and pears, this is so light and tasty.
    • Made without banana - we use oats instead of banana in this smoothie, to thicken and make it a little more hearty.
    • Quick and easy - just a few ingredients, this smoothie is made in minutes.

    Ingredients

    Just six ingredients, and mostly pantry staples. You will need:

    • Apples and pears - any variety should work well, but I tend to use conference pears.
    • Oats - used in place of banana to thicken. Use gluten free oats if required.
    • Non-dairy milk - use the type that works best for you.
    • Cinnamon - this is optional but adds a nice hint of spice.
    • Maple syrup - also optional. The smoothie is sweet without, but if you have a sweet tooth you may like a little drizzle of syrup.

    Variations to the recipe

    The cinnamon and maple syrup are optional. My low histamine readers may prefer to leave out the cinnamon or use a tiny pinch of cardamom instead.

    Step by step instructions

    Step 1

    Dice the apples and pears. It doesn't have to be precise as they will be blended. Be sure to peel first, and de-core.

    Step 2

    Add all the ingredients to a blender (or I use a Nutri-Bullet) and blend to a thick consistency. Add ice cubes to taste preference.

    Smoothie making tips

    • Add the milk to the blender cup first, and then the other ingredients. This helps prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the cup.
    • You can leave out ice altogether, or add a cube at a time until it has the consistency you prefer.
    • This is quite a thick smoothie. To make it less thick you can first blitz the oats to a finer consistency, and blend all the ingredients for longer.

    Equipment needed

    • Food processor (or I use a Nutri-Bullet)
    • Knife to chop the fruit
    • Peeler

      I'm sitting here drinking my apple and pear smoothie and it's so good! I followed all the instructions exactly and I used oat milk for my non-dairy milk.
      The smoothie is so simple and quick to make, which is just how I like my breakfast. I will definitely add this recipe to my breakfast rotation!
      Thanks for the great recipe!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
