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

The Steps

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
