    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!

    • Sweet persimmons add natural sugar and are a great source of fiber.
    • This fall-winter fruit also contains tons of vitamins and nutrients—especially vitamin C.
    • A tad of warm cinnamon powder adds some lovely spice.
    • Coconut shreds add healthy fats and pair well with the honey-like flavor of persimmons.
    • It's super creamy, dairy-free, incredibly filling, and simply delicious.

    Ingredients—notes

    Ingredients like Fuyu persimmons, oat milk, dried coconut shreds, seeds and nuts displayed on a serving board.

    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 them when they are softened and sweet.

    PLANT MILK: I usually go for oat milk. Other great options are almond milk or coconut milk. Always go for unsweetened plant milk.

    CINNAMON: A small amount complements the fruit's sweet taste. I also love to add some for garnish.

    COCONUT FLAKES: 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.

    Note: for a thicker, almost pudding-like consistency, add 1 tablespoon of chia seed to the high-speed blender and blend until super creamy. It adds thickness to this persimmon smoothie recipe.

    Servings 2 servings (1 ¾ cups total)

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 ripe Fuyu persimmons one extra for garnish (optional)
    • 1 cup oat milk, coconut milk, or almond milk or other nut milk of choice
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon plus extra for garnish
    • ¼ cup cup unsweetened shredded coconut (also known as desiccated coconut) about 15 grams plus extra for garnish
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional) Only add if you want a more pudding-like consistency and for garnish
    • roasted pistachios, sunflower, pumpkin seeds, or nuts of your choice (optional) for garnish

    Instructions

    • Cut out the crown and peel the persimmons.
    • Add them with the other ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until creamy and smooth (less than 1 minute).
    • Optional: you can garnish the inside of the glass with thin persimmon slices.
    • Garnish with seeds, nuts, cinnamon powder, and extra coconut shreds.

    Notes

    Do I have to peel the Fuyu persimmons? When the fruits are orange and ripe, you don't need to peel them. I usually do, but if you opt not to, then wash the fruits and only cut out the crown.
    Can I use Hachiya persimmons? Although I prefer Fuyu, you can use the elongated-shaped persimmons. Make sure they are completely ripe and softened, though. Otherwise, they will have a very astringent, almost pungent taste. Use over-ripe fruits looking almost like swollen balloons and are sweet and jelly-like inside. Note: most sold persimmons still need to ripen a bit further at home. Leave them in your pantry or fruit baskets for a week or so. 
    Adding chia seeds to the smoothie: If you prefer a thicker pudding-like consistency, add 1 tablespoon chia seeds to the blender. I usually only add them as garnish.
    Plant milk: best to choose unsweetened oat milk or coconut or almond milk. But always choose a plant or nut milk you love best.
