Directions

Use a melon baller to hollow out the pear halves. Place pear halves to the side and reserve excess pear for later use.

In a blender, add excess pear, banana, 1/2 cup acai or blueberries, vanilla yogurt and milk. Blend on high until all smooth consistency is reached.

Pour blended mixture into each pear half. Top with acai berries/blueberries, strawberries and gran

Tip: Cut off a small amount of pear from the bottom of each pear half so that pear lays flat for serving.
