This Spinach and Pear Puree is deliciously sweet and a great way to serve spinach to kids. 

This spinach pear smoothie is pack with spinach and is a great way to get greens into your kids' diets. Deliciously sweet and perfect topped with yogurt and nuts for extra protein

Having been without all our belongings for a couple of months, I was more than delighted when our shipment arrived last week. It was an exciting day and I was very glad to be reunited with our goods. (Apart from having to unpack them, that wasn’t quite as exciting!)

I especially missed the kitchen gadgets. It has been so frustrating being a food blogger with no kitchen tools. However, this week, I have been making up for the lost time and have been experimenting a lot in the kitchen.

As soon as Finn saw the blender he was begging for a smoothie and so that is what he got! We have had a version of this smoothie for the last couple of days as I perfected the recipe. It is jam packed with spinach so I was more than happy for the boys to be my taste testers.

Spinach, pear, dates, ginger and water make up this vibrant smoothie. You can serve it in a glass or make more of a meal out of it. Pictured is how I served it, poured into two bowls with a good dollop of greek yoghurt and some LSA mix to add a protein kick. LSA mix isn’t something I had heard of until I moved to Australia. I don’t think I ever saw it in the UK but it is really popular here. LSA is a combination of Linseeds, Sunflower Seeds and Almonds which have been ground down to a fine or coarse form. I love it and have been adding it to a ton of different recipes.

It is evident from the bowls below that this smoothie was a big hit with my boys and I hope you and your kids love it too.

Recipe Notes

Depending on the size of your blender you may have to add the spinach in stages. I added about a 1/4 of the spinach, blitzed it and then added the remaining spinach before blending again.

    Please move the social media icons to a place where it doesn’t interfere with reading the information. I have an iPhone 7 s and the icons appear on the left side of the screen. Can you move them to the end of the information where they won’t interfere with reading.

      Hi Lynn, Thank you for pointing that issue out. I had just changed my social share buttons and was actually having issues with them. I think I finally have it sorted but it is still showing differently on different phones. Let me know if you are still having issues!
