Persimmon Pie Smoothie

Persimmon Pie Smoothie
The heart-shaped Hachiya is the most common variety of persimmon. Unripened Hachiya persimmons contain very high levels of tannins, and are firm to the touch. If eaten before completely soft you will be left with a bitter taste that leaves your lips puckered for several minutes. However, the sweet, delicate flavor of fully ripened persimmons will have you craving each and every luscious bite. You will know when your persimmon is ripe when it becomes almost too fragile to hold and the stem can easily be pulled off revealing a gooey sugar rich center.

This smoothie is the perfect last act for the fall/winter fruit season, and will leave you with all the memories and joy that this Holiday Season brought you.

This Smoothie is completely Raw, 80/10/10 and is completely dependent on the freshness and ripeness of the persimmon, and depending on the size and sweetness of your persimmon you may need to change amounts and ingredients!
