The Best Spiced Persimmon Smoothie – EASY!
This delicious, healthy, spiced persimmon smoothie is not only creamy and satisfying but also full of anti-inflammatory goodness. I have been lucky enough to find Fuyu Persimmons by the case at Costco during peak Persimmon season. This versatile fruit is beautiful on charcuterie platters and added to a festive Fall salad.
My beautiful niece was visiting me last year for the holidays, and I had just purchased a case of gorgeous persimmons. She had never eaten one, so we sliced one and ate it together. She exclaimed at how delicious it was. Succulent and sweet!
Persimmons, if you’ve never eaten one, have a bright orange interior and, when ripe, are creamy and sweet, like the combination of a mango and a peach. It’s hard to explain the taste of Persimmon until you try one, but suffice it to say they are AMAZING! You must race home and make this wonderful smoothie with this perfect winter fruit!
