Cinnamon gives this berry smoothie a warm, almost autumnal character. Coconut milk makes it creamy, and the pear adds sweetness.

Creamy and fruity, with tart blackberries, sweet pear, mild coconut and warm cinnamon.
Blackberries and cinnamon are a familiar pairing from crumbles and compotes. In this smoothie the berries provide colour, tartness and fibre, the pear natural sweetness and body, and coconut milk drink a creamy, mildly tropical base. A splash of milk softens the coconut flavour.
It is a good breakfast smoothie for late summer and autumn, when blackberries are in season. Ceylon cinnamon tastes softer and sweeter than the more common cassia cinnamon; either works here.
Not as written, because of the milk. With a plant drink instead it is.
Yes, blueberries or mixed berries work in the same amounts.
Half a teaspoon gives a noticeable but gentle spice; start with less if you are unsure.
