Smoothies are always a win in my house, and if you can get a high fiber smoothie into kids, it has so many health properties.

Kids didn’t eat enough dinner? Smoothies to the rescue. And make sure to use these kids smoothie cups – they are much more well-accepted!

Kids need a snack before or after practice? Use this pear banana smoothie for recovery!

Or some of our other favorite options….like this mint chocolate black bean smoothie, carrot banana smoothie or cantaloupe mango smoothie.

I’ve tried so many smoothie variations with my toddlers and we have so many favorites.

I have a pretty good idea now of what will taste good before I even make it, which is how I developed this pear smoothie with banana.

Why Sarah Loves this Recipe

“If we have a day where kids don’t eat their normal fruits or veggies, I love to use this pear and banana smoothie as a back-up. You can’t taste the cauliflower, but you’re getting all of the beneficial nutrients, plus protein and fiber!”

Why You’ll Love This Banana Pear Smoothie

• High in fiber – Fiber can be hard to come by in some kid’s diets, but this banana pear smoothie boosts 6 grams of fiber, to help with satiety and digestion! It’s one of the best recipes for constipated toddlers due to it’s fiber, fruits and veggies!
• No added sugars – This is one of my favorite smoothies for toddlers and babies for this reason! You can add maple syrup or honey if you’d like, but the banana adds plenty of sweetness.
• Creamy, delicious, and satisfying – The frozen cauliflower works wonders and gives this banana and pear smoothie a milkshake consistency, which kids (and myself) love!
• Balanced with fruits and veggies – We can never underestimate how great this is – especially when many of us fall short on meeting our daily fruits and veggie recommendations. Make sure to add this banana pear smoothie to your routine. Smoothies can be a great way to get toddlers to eat more veggies.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy high fiber smoothie recipe!

• banana
• pear
• cauliflower
• greek yogurt – I think plain is great and the smoothie is sweet enough, but you could also opt for vanilla
• milk
• peanut butter
• cinnamon
• hemp seeds

Using more frozen options (pears, banana, cauliflower) will result in a thicker smoothie and you may need to add a bit more liquid.

Using more liquid and less frozen options will result in a thinner smoothie.

You can also add your favorite protein powder, or other popular additions, like greens.

How to Make a Banana and Pear Smoothie

There’s really no need for a step by step here.

Just add all of your ingredients to your favorite high-speed blender (ninja, nutribullet, vitamix, etc.) and blend.

I do recommend adding the frozen cauliflower and banana first so everything blends seamlessly.

It couldn’t be easier and it’s so easy to make in advance, or make double or triple the recipe to save for later, like after school or post soccer practice.
