Instructions

Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen blueberries and chopped ripe pear.
Add the ice cubes and a small pinch of fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency and adjust with 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use ripe pears for natural sweetness; if pears are underripe, add a small amount of honey to enhance flavor. To make ahead, prepare without ice and freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays to blend fresh later.
