  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (whole fat, low fat, or fat free)
  • 1-2 Tbsp honey or agave (adjust to taste)
  • 1 pear (quartered and seeded)
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Quarter and seed the pear to ensure it blends smoothly without seeds or stems. Measure out the frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, honey or agave, and cold water.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of a high-quality blender, add the cold water first, followed by the Greek yogurt, honey or agave, pear pieces, and frozen blueberries. Adding the water first helps the blender operate more smoothly.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the smoothie reaches a creamy, uniform consistency with no chunks remaining. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds depending on your blender.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave based on your preference.
  • Using frozen blueberries gives the smoothie a chilled texture without needing ice.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • For added nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending.
