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 flavor 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!

• 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

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, 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. It adds thickness to this persimmon smoothie recipe.
