Question:

Why do blueberry smoothies congeal?

My blueberry drinks (after only a short while in the fridge) congealThe solid floats to the bottom and yellow liquid floats to the topWhat - specifically - in the blueberries causes the drink to congeal, whereas other berries don't have the same problem? Canned blueberries don't do thisSurely there must be a way to prevent this from happening while still using fresh blueberries?

Answer:

Blueberries are high in pectinIt's a soluble fiber, not much you can do to get rid of itSome blueberries are higher in it than others thoughAcid (which BBs also are) helps the gelling, so you could try neutralizing the smoothie PH by adding baking soda(Or bleach, or lyeMmmm!)
If you think foil is a disaster in the oven, try coffee filters, you just might burn the house down.
I think you are right maybe you could run to the store and buy some cause both of those are bad ideas .
Buy and use parchment paper to line your pan will not burn and does not reflect heat and change cooking times and you can avoid extra fats
Why not just buy a baking sheet? You can usually get them at the dollar store.
