Persimmon Smoothie

Another recipe translation blog update! It’s been a while. I haven’t tried this one, but it looks good. I need to get on this before persimmons are out of season.

Persimmon Smoothie

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 230g persimmons
  • 100g of fresh pineapple
  • 6 fresh mint leaves
  • 100g ice

Directions

  1. Peel the persimmons and remove the seeds. Cut about 200g of the persimmon into large bite size pieces and the remaining into 5 mm cubes. Cut the pineapple into large bite size pieces.
  2. In a blender, add the large bites size pieces of the persimmon and pineapple, mint, and ice. Blend until smooth.
  3. Serve into small bowls. Garnish with the 5 mm cubes and some chopped mint (get more mint than just 6 leaves as these are like leaves 7 and 8).
