One passion fruit is enough to perfume the whole glass. Blackberries give depth and color, and a ripe pear smooths out their sourness.

Blackberry Pear Smoothie with Passion Fruit
Tart and aromatic with a tropical perfume, a soft pear sweetness and a medium body.
Passion fruit has an intense tropical aroma and a sharp acidity, which is why a single fruit per glass is plenty. Its pulp comes with black seeds; they are edible and give a slight crunch, but they can also be strained out. Blackberries bring an earthy, winey berry flavor and a dark color, pear softness and natural sweetness.
Choose a passion fruit with wrinkled skin: that is a sign of ripeness, not age. The smoothie works well as a light afternoon drink and is refreshing on hot days, especially with frozen blackberries.
