Fuyu Persimmons Maqui Smoothie

By

Fuyu Persimmons are a delicious option when looking for seasonal fruit this fall.  This beautiful, tomato-shaped fruit originated in China but is actually the National fruit of Japan.  The Fuyu has a bright-orange colored skin with a crisp crunch and sweet taste.  No need to peel your Fuyu’s as this specific variety does not have the astringent skin of other persimmons varieties.  Today I’ve decided to use my persimmons in our nutrient-packed Fuyu Persimmons Maqui Smoothie.  Colorful, nutritious and delicious!  A treat for the whole family this fall.
