Pear Smoothie with Blueberries and Prunes
Soft and mild, with juicy pear, rounded blueberry fruitiness and a jammy plum sweetness.
Pear and blueberry are both mild, low-acid fruits, so this smoothie is gentle and easy to drink. The prune, a dried plum, is the interesting addition: it brings a concentrated, jam-like sweetness and some extra fiber, so no sugar or honey is needed.
Prunes are known for their fiber content, and many people like them in the morning for that reason. One per glass is enough, as their flavor is intense. Soften it in warm water if it is very dry. The smoothie suits breakfast and is especially nice in autumn, when pears are at their best.
They add natural sweetness and fiber, replacing sugar or honey.
Yes, use one or two ripe plums; the smoothie will be less sweet and a little tarter.
