Persimmon Smoothie Bowl – Delicious Breakfast or Dessert
Making a Persimmon Smoothie is EASY!
Frozen persimmons are delicious by themselves, just freeze when ripe, cut off the top and scoop out the fruit like ice cream. I added a little bit of extra goodness for a delicious breakfast or dessert.
If you’d rather drink your smoothie, just pour it into a glass to enjoy.
