🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 whole ripe persimmons
• 1 whole apple (medium-sized, sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
• 1 whole banana (preferably ripe)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 pieces ice cubes

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Peel and deseed the persimmons, then cut them into quarters for easier blending.

2. Core and chop the apple into chunks. Leave the skin on for added fiber, unless you prefer a smoother texture.

3. Break the banana into smaller pieces for easier blending.

4. In a blender, combine the persimmons, apple chunks, banana, almond milk, and Greek yogurt (if using).

5. Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

6. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and add the ice cubes.

7. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

8. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of apple on the rim of the glass.
