Persimmon-Orange Smoothie
The best part about winter fruits is the bright orange colors! Add in a pinch of cinnamon and some zesty ginger and it’s just what we need to liven up the dark mornings. This recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled, or quadrupled, depending on how many you are serving. Just be sure to toss the persimmons (and peeled bananas, if desired) into the freezer the night before.
