How To Customize The Smoothie

The 3 ingredients used to make this tasty chocolate and pear smoothie are a great base for you to make an even more interesting and nutrient-dense smoothie.

I have tested numerous different versions of this smoothie since I have probably made it over 20 times now. Each time I tried something different.

If you want this recipe, here are some suggestions that I have personally tested which all work very well:

  • Make this chocolate pear smoothie high in protein by adding a scoop or two of protein powder. For extra chocolatey flavor, use chocolate protein powder!
  • Add more richness and depth to the drink by adding a tablespoon of nut butter. I personally tested almond butter, and it work very well with the pear and chocolate.
  • If you are not vegan, swap the almond milk for a cup of yogurt. Yogurt adds creaminess, protein, and gut-friendly bacteria.
  • Add another classic ingredient that works well with chocolate – strawberries! Use 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries for a tasty twist to this smoothie.

Make It a Smoothie Bowl

If you haven’t yet tried a chocolate smoothie bowl, I urge you to do so ASAP!

To turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl, use the listed ingredients, but add 1 cup of frozen banana slices.

This will thicken the smoothie, making it the perfect consistency of a smoothie bowl.

Finally, add your desired smoothie bowl toppings and dig in!

Recipe Questions From The Community

I always share my newly developed smoothie recipes with my smoothie community on YouTube first.

I then gather the feedback, tweak the recipe if needed, and finally write up the recipe on my blog.

All the chocolate lovers from my community loved the recipe. 

However, I received a couple of questions from some, which I will also answer in this recipe post:

Can I Use Frozen Pears Instead Of Fresh Pears?

Yes, you can use frozen pears instead of fresh, in fact, it's better to use frozen pears, since they will make your smoothie a lot thicker and refreshing!

I Am Allergic To Nuts - What Can I Use Instead Of Almond Milk?

The almond milk can easily be substituted for either oat milk, soy milk or regular dairy milk if you are not vegan.

When Should I Drink This Smoothie For Weight Loss?

The smoothie is best consumed in the afternoon, if you want to use it for weight loss. The reason for this is because it will help curb cravings, especially during a time when we often snack on unhealthy high calorie foods.
