Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 orange peeled
- 2 fuyu persimmons ripe
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon ground
Instructions
- Wash persimmons and remove stems.
- Blend yogurt, orange, persimmons and honey until smooth.
- Pour into a glass and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use any yogurt you prefer, like plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt.
- To make this recipe vegan, swap honey with maple syrup or the natural sweetener of your choice.
- Since oranges carry so much water, you don't need to add liquid to this smoothie. Yet if your blender blades have a hard time getting this smoothie liquified, then add just a bit of water to facilitate the blending process.
- Use frozen persimmons or add ice to your glass for a refreshingly cool smoothie.
- Feel free to add up to a cup of leafy green vegetables.
