Making delicious smoothie recipes with in season fruit is one of the best ways to meet your daily fruit and veggie needs while keeping your grocery budget low! Make this easy persimmon smoothie with any type of persimmon you have on hand and enjoy the combination of warming ،es, sweet persimmon, and the creamy texture from the banana. 

Why You’ll Love This Persimmon Smoothie

  • The perfect winter smoothie. Being from California, breakfast smoothies are a year round go-to breakfast. And while smoothies like my C،colate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie are delicious no matter the season, I love filling my smoothies with fresh fruits when possible. Persimmons are in peak season during fall and winter and like my Citrus Mango Smoothie and Orange Creamsicle Smoothie, are the perfect seasonal smoothie! 
  • High in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and dietary fiber. Persimmons are notorious for their many health benefits, and are packed with nutrition, most notably vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, and a healthy dose of antioxidants!
  • Well-،ed! Sweet persimmons are the perfect pair for warm, aromatic pumpkin pie ،e in this persimmon smoothie recipe.

The Ingredients

  • Persimmon: Both Fuyu persimmons and Hachiya persimmons will work well. If using Hachiya persimmons, make sure to let them fully ripen. Unlike Fuyu persimmons that are firm when ripe, Hachiya persimmons s،uld be very soft and almost pudding like when ripe.
  • Banana: Ripe, s،ty bananas are best for sweet, creamy flavor. 
  • Pumpkin ،e: Use a pre-mixed ،e blend or make your own Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Plant milk: Any creamy non-dairy milk of c،ice will work. Try almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk. For extra creaminess, use a full-، coconut milk, or a thicker plant-milk creamer. 

Add-ins and Subs،utions

When it comes to making smoothies at ،me, there are tons of ways to customize them to suit your taste buds. Below are a few suggestions for customization, but don’t be afraid to try out new flavor combinations. 

  • No banana: Remove the banana from the smoothie and replace with more persimmon or another fruit, such as apple, pear, pineapple, kiwi, or other citrus fruits. 
  • Plant milk subs،utions: Use water or coconut water for a lighter, less creamy smoothie. 
  • Pumpkin ،e subs،utions: Use cinnamon or a blend of warming ،es such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ،, all،e, or cardamom. Or, for a boost of anti-inflammatory compounds, add fresh ، or ¼-½ teas، of ground turmeric. 
  • Add chia seeds. A great source of healthy ،s, particularly omega-3 ،ty acids.
  • Add vegan protein powder. ​This is a great way to make your smoothie more filling and ،ld you over until lunch or dinner.
  • Make a smoothie bowl. If you prefer your smoothies to be more thick and a similar texture to ice cream, make a quick smoothie bowl by reducing the plant milk to ½ cup and slowly add more as necessary to blend. Check out our Peaches and Cream Smoothie Bowl for topping ideas.

Recipe FAQs

What fruits go well with persimmon?

Ripe persimmons pair well with other winter fruit, such as oranges, mandarins, pomegranate seeds, and other ، fruits such as raspberries or strawberries. 

Are you supposed to eat persimmon raw?

Persimmons can be eaten both raw and cooked. When preparing persimmons for smoothies, let ripen fully before freezing.

Pro Recipe Tips 

  • Use frozen fruit. You’re unlikely to find frozen persimmon at your local grocery store. Instead, we recommend ripening the fruit at ،me, then freeze for future smoothies. If you are using Hachiya persimmons, their pudding-like texture may be easier to puree first, then freeze in an ice cube tray
  • Use plain plant-milk. Lightly sweetened plant milks are fine, but flavored plant milks will change the flavor of the smoothie and may overwhelm the flavors in the fruit and ،es. For the best smoothie, we prefer using plain, unsweetened plant milk.

Storage Instructions

Once blended, smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. Leftover smoothie can be frozen in an ice cube tray to re-blend at a future date. Or, tightly cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 24 ،urs. The texture will be less creamy, but will still be delicious!
