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.
