Easy Creamy Persimmon Smoothie (Dairy-Free)

A 5-ingredient easy persimmon smoothie with healthy fats and creamy texture that uses Fuyu persimmons.

It's simple yet packed with lovely flavors and nutrients and is high in dietary fiber, like my Chocolate Mango Smoothie.

I love persimmon fruit and usually buy it by the crate at my local grocery store.

They end up in salads or delicious smoothie recipes, but I even love them as a snack.

In this case, I'm tossing a few simple ingredients in the blender to get the creamiest spiced persimmon smoothie. Let's make it!

Why You'll Love This Quick Smoothie

• It uses fresh fruits: Sweet persimmons add natural sugar and are a great source of fiber.
• Nutritious: This fall-winter fruit also contains tons of vitamins and nutrients—especially vitamin C.
• It contains warming spices: A tad of warm cinnamon powder adds some lovely spice.
• A great option for breakfast or snack: It's super creamy, dairy-free, incredibly filling, and simply delicious.

Ingredients & Notes

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

• Persimmons: I prefer Fuyu persimmons, but you can also use Hachiya persimmons. If you do, make sure they are ripe enough, almost jelly-like in texture.

Note: Use Hachiya when they almost look like an overripe tomato, and the inside of the fruit looks like persimmon jam. If not ripe enough, they taste rather astringent and not pleasant. On the other hand, Fuyu persimmons can be enjoyed even when firm, just like an apple. But for this smoothie recipe, use softened and sweet ripe persimmons.

• Unsweetened plant milk: I usually go for oat milk. Other great options are almond milk or coconut milk.
• Cinnamon: A small amount complements the fruit's sweet taste. I also love to add some for garnish.
• Coconut flakes: It adds extra creaminess, healthy fats, and a lovely flavor.
• Seeds and nuts for garnish: I love chia seeds, roasted pistachios, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, and extra coconut shreds. But walnuts or roasted peanuts work well here, too, or my toasted crunchy steel-cut-oats.

Note: For a thicker, almost pudding-like consistency, add 1 tablespoon of chia seed to the high-speed blender and blend until super creamy. This adds thickness to this persimmon smoothie recipe and can easily be turned into a breakfast bowl, like my Strawberry Smoothie Bowl.
