    This delicious Asian fruit makes the most perfect vegan autumnal smoothie. It takes less than 10 minutes to whip up using only 7 ingredients.

    If you are a fan of persimmons then you will love this smoothie, it's tasty, seasonal and completely dairy free. This smoothie is bursting with nutrition and optimal fibre levels to help sustain the entire body.

    While I do not like the cold weather I do like the whole range of fruit and veggies that the supermarkets like to stock. One of my favourite Autumnal fruits is persimmons, a percy what?

    I repeat PERSIMMON and even more as a persimmon smoothie recipe. I had that what-the-heck-is-this-fruit expression on my face too a few years ago.

     

    What is a persimmon?

    On a serious note, the persimmon fruit is bright yellow/orange in colour, oval shaped, smooth and very juicy when ripe.

    The fruit derives from East Asia and is popular amongst the western hemisphere doing the cooler months. There are several persimmon species including

    • Sharon fruit
    • Fuyu
    • Hachiya
    • Chocolate persimmon
    • Tanenashi

    Reason to make this smoothie

    • It's a great way to incorporate seasonal fruit
    • Perfect for the fall/winter time
    • It takes less than 10 minutes to whip up
    • Suitable for those who are vegan/dairy free/lactose intolerant/paleo/whole 30
    • It's naturally sweet
    • Contains only 7 ingredients 

    The Steps

    Add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender and blitz into a smooth consistency.

    Notes and tips

    • Use any species of persimmon to make this recipe, it will work regardless of which one you use.
    • For super sweet results, allow the persimmon to ripen until it's soft and almost at the point of bursting.
    • Persimmon when firm aren't that sweet so keep that in mind
    • Feel free to add additional nuts/grains to your smoothie or even turn the recipe into a thick smoothie bowl
    • Use another plant based milk such as coconut milk or cashew if you want to.

      What a great use of persimmons! I have never tried making a smoothie out of them, so, this sounds like a delicious idea. It looks really healthy which always gets my attention. I can't wait to make this smoothie over and over again.

      I love persimmon smoothie and make it when persimmon is in season. Haven't tried adding nutmeg in, so will be trying it next time I make it!
