Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 frozen persimmon, sliced
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk, or more if needed
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the persimmon is frozen and sliced, and have the pumpkin puree, ripe banana, pumpkin spice, and plant-based milk ready.
- Blend Smoothie: Place the frozen persimmon slices, pumpkin puree, ripe banana, pumpkin spice, and plant-based milk into a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more plant-based milk and blend again until reaching your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit: Ripen persimmons at home before freezing to ensure smooth blending; Hachiya persimmons can be pureed first then frozen in ice cube trays for convenience.
- Use plain plant milk: Unsweetened and unflavored plant milks preserve the delicate flavors of the smoothie; avoid flavored plant milks as they might overpower the fruit and spices.
- If persimmons are not frozen, you can freeze them ahead to achieve the creamy texture desired for smoothies.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave if preferred.
