FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh blueberries will work, but using frozen ones will give the smoothie a thicker, colder texture. You may want to add some ice if using fresh.

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Absolutely! You can use any type of yogurt you prefer, such as dairy-free, flavored, or even Greek yogurt with added probiotics.

Can I make this smoothie without sweetener?

Yes, you can leave out the sweetener if you prefer a less sweet smoothie. The pear and blueberries add natural sweetness, so it may not need any added sugar.

How can I make this smoothie thicker?

If you’d like a thicker smoothie, try adding more frozen fruit or a handful of oats, chia seeds, or avocado for creaminess.

Can I prepare this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the smoothie ingredients ahead of time. Just store them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and blend when ready to serve.
