Creamy, Vitamin-C-Packed Satsuma & Persimmon Smoothie with Medjool Dates
An extra punch of Vitamin C is always a good idea!
Citrus, ginger and turmeric all provide properties to help you stay healthy or even feel better fast. This smoothie doesn’t taste like a trick to cure you, it’s simply creamy, flavorful and full of good. Almost like orange juice meets Jamba Juice. Serves 1 to 2.
If you can’t find fresh persimmons, you can always try using cantaloupe or even pumpkin puree would work in a pinch.
