  2. Pear: Ripe pears are used in this recipe. Its white soft flesh infuses a floral sweetness into the smoothie.
  3. Blueberries: These berries are mostly sweet with mild tartness. Carry a tiffin packed with fresh blueberries for a healthy office snack.
  4. Whole milk: is a liquid component that adds richness and subtle sweetness to the beverage. It is also nutritious and filling.
  5. Vanilla Yoghurt: This ingredient is texturally creamy with sweet and sour flavours that work beautifully for the smoothie.
