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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
