Banana Pear Smoothie with Nuts

Taste

Creamy and naturally sweet with juicy pear, soft banana and a toasty hazelnut note.

About this smoothie

Banana and pear are a soft, naturally sweet base that blends into a creamy texture without any sugar. Whole nuts make a smoothie more filling: they bring protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fats, plus a toasty, nutty depth. A strong blender turns them almost completely smooth, especially if they are soaked first. Hazelnuts have a sweet, toasty flavour that pairs particularly well with pear, while almonds keep it mild. Almond milk makes the smoothie fully plant based. A filling breakfast or afternoon snack, especially in the cooler months.

Bartender tips

  • Soak the nuts in water for a few hours or overnight, drain them, and the smoothie will be noticeably smoother.
  • Lightly toasting the hazelnuts in a dry pan deepens the flavour noticeably.

Variations

With cinnamon
A pinch of cinnamon turns it into a cosy autumn smoothie.

Frequently asked questions

Is it vegan?

Yes. All ingredients are plant based.

Can I use hazelnut butter?

Yes, one tablespoon replaces the whole nuts and blends smoother.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It keeps covered in the fridge overnight but thickens; add a splash of almond milk and shake.
