Ingredients

• 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Break the banana into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and add the ice cubes.

Step 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.

Step 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.
