Blueberry Pear Smoothie – Earth Day

Written by Published on Updated on April 25, 2024 in American, Healthy Snacks, Smoothie Drinks, smoothies

Hello everyone,

I prepared this Blueberry Pear Smoothie as part of the celebration for Earth Day since fruits are plant-based and nutritious, and believe me, this smoothie is a great pick-me-upper.  What I love about this smoothie is that I haven’t added any Greek Yogurt or bananas.  Even, though I haven’t added Greek Yogurt and Bananas to this Blueberry Pear Smoothie recipe for Earth Day it still turns out thick and smooth.  I love smoothies with Mango, Strawberries, and Peaches but which is my favorite smoothie?  I wouldn’t know how to answer that question.  What is your favorite smoothie?

Blueberries are considered to be “superfoods” packed with nutrients and oh-so-sweet.  Some of the benefits of eating Blueberries are to help lower blood pressure, improve memory, prevent heart disease, and more.  I like my smoothies to be simple, with no added oats, chai, etc.  Important facts that everyone should think about.  Too many ingredients in one smoothie sometimes confuse me :).   I mainly believe that I miss out on that one taste that I want to have when drinking a smoothie, I prefer just fruits and Greek yogurt for thickness but all the rest I prefer in a bowl.

Yesterday April 22nd was Earth Day, I do hope you did try to do something for the planet in your way.  Plant a beautiful tree in your garden or area, pick up any plastic you may see on the sidewalks or in the streets, and turn down the lights if it’s still daylight.  These are just a few ideas that you would like to do to help this planet.  My part in celebrating Earth Day II went to the forest and picked plastic water bottles.  Unfortunately, people tend to throw plastic water bottles outside the garbage cans rather than in the garbage cans.

Even though Spring has arrived, I beg to differ and the reason is because the weather has not settled down.  We went from 28 degrees two weeks ago to snow yesterday.  I was not ready for that!!

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
