Discover three tasty, refreshing pear juice recipes packed with vitamins and nutrients, perfect for a healthy breakfast or afternoon snack.

As soon as pear season arrives, I can’t wait to use them in my favorite recipes. A good friend with a large orchard keeps me stocked with fresh, ripe pears, which keeps me busy making wine, butter, grilling them or baking cakes. He’s always eager to try something new and is one of the first to taste my latest creations. With the hot weather this time, I decided to juice the pears and experiment with different combinations. Naturally, he was the first to sample them all and choose his favorite.

According to Wikipedia (3), about 3000 known varieties of pears are grown worldwide. In general, look for ripe pears that are juicy and offer the best nutritional benefits. These include sweet and smooth Bartlett, Bosc, or Asian pears. Anjou pears also offer a good balance of sweetness and juiciness. Comice pears, on the other hand, are tender, while small Seckel pears are intensely sweet.

Blender or Juicer?

A juicer extracts only the liquid from fruits and veggies, leaving behind the pulp. This gives you smooth, pulp-free juice, but you lose the dietary fiber. Juicers are great for pure, nutrient-rich juice.

A blender processes the whole fruit or veggie, including the fiber, making thicker, more filling drinks like smoothies. In additon, blenders are better for adding herbs like mint because they fully blend the herbs into the juice. Juicers often don’t mix in herbs well, as they separate out the pulp.

Choose a blender if you want to keep the fiber and incorporate herbs.

How to make Pear Juice that is tasty

First step: Prepare the fruits and vegetables for juicing

Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Trim the tops off the carrots. For pears, I prefer to leave the skin on for extra fiber, but you can peel them if you like. Peel the lime and orange, then cut them into quarters so they fit into the juicer. If you’re using a blender, be sure to core and chop the pears into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Second step: Juice or blend

for using  a juicer: Push the fruit through the juicer and don’t forget to place a jar or glass to collect the juice. 

for a blender: Place the pear pieces in the blender and blend until smooth. I strongly recommend using a blender when adding herbs like mint into the mixture. With a juicer, you will lose most of the herb scent.

Third step: Strain (Optional)

For smoother juice, strain the homemade juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Fourth step : Serve

Pour the juice into your glasses and serve immediately. If you like, add some ice cubes for extra chilled juice in the summer!

Other combination for a refreshing pear juice

Celery adds a crisp, clean taste and a bit of natural saltiness.

Strawberry are sweet and fruity and add vibrant color to the juice

Spinach adds a nutritional boost without overpowering the pear’s flavor, 

Cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note that complements the pear’s natural sweetness.

How to store this green juice

Store these pear juices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. If you want to store them longer, you can also freeze them in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
