Tips
- Pre-chill the glass before pouring so the milkshake stays thick and cold instead of thinning at the rim.

- Blend until fully smooth, but stop once the ice cream is incorporated to avoid a thin, over-melted texture.
FAQ
Do pears and blueberries go together?
Yes, pear and blueberry pair naturally: the pear's mellow sweetness balances the tartness of the blueberries, especially once blended into a creamy milkshake base.
What fruits pair best with pears in a smoothie?
Berries are a classic match for pear in a smoothie, since their tartness offsets the pear's soft sweetness; blueberries, as used in this recipe, are one of the best options. Other good pairings include raspberries, strawberries, and apple.
What fruits should not be mixed together in a smoothie?
There is no fixed rule, but very high-acid fruits like citrus can clash with delicate, low-acid fruits such as pear or melon, muting their flavor and sometimes curdling dairy-based smoothies. Pairing fruits of similar acidity, like pear and blueberry, gives a smoother, better-balanced result.
