Thirsty Thursday: Pear Vanilla Smoothies

There are some flavors of fall that I find completely under rated. Of course, there is always the pumpkin spice craze and then there is the apple, but for me, it’s all about PEARS lately. I have been trying to incorporate them into everything. Pear tarts, pear salads, if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you’ll see I tried Pear Hard Cider, and for this week’s THIRSTY THURSDAY, I made Pear Vanilla Smoothies.

 

They are great for a healthy breakfast or a nutritious after school snack for the kids, and contain some old fashioned oats to help keep you full.

 

Pear Vanilla Smoothies (makes 1)

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I used Fruyo)
1 large ripe pear cut into chunks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup ice

Add ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
