# Ingredients:

→ The Smoothie Stars

01 - 2 ripe Fuyu persimmons, chopped
02 - 1 medium banana, frozen in chunks

→ The Creamy Base

03 - 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

→ The Warm & Cozy Spices

05 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or more, to taste)
06 - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
07 - 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

→ Optional Power-Ups

08 - 2 tbsp rolled oats
09 - 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, give your persimmons a good wash. Then, pull off the leafy bit at the top and chop the fruit into rough chunks. Skin on and everything—it’s full of nutrients and it all gets obliterated in the blender anyway. Don't worry about getting perfect cubes.
02 - Okay, now go grab everyone else. Get your frozen banana chunks out of the freezer, scoop your glorious full-fat yogurt, and pour your milk. Have the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla standing by like little soldiers ready for battle.
03 - Put the liquids in FIRST. So, pour your milk in the bottom of the blender. Then add the softer stuff: the yogurt, the persimmon chunks, and vanilla. On top of that, add your hard, frozen stuff: the banana chunks and oats (if using).
04 - Now for the best part. Sprinkle your cinnamon and nutmeg right on top of everything. I always do an extra little shake of cinnamon for good luck. This is your moment to customize.
05 - Put the lid on and MAKE SURE IT’S ON TIGHT. Start the blender on low for about 10-15 seconds just to get everything acquainted, then crank that baby up to high. Let it whir away for a good 45-60 seconds, or until it’s ridiculously smooth and creamy.
06 - This step is non-negotiable. Turn the blender off, dip a spoon in and have a taste. Does it need more sweetness? More spice? Too thick? Adjust as needed. This is how a recipe becomes *your* recipe.
07 - Pour your glorious creation into a glass or two. I like to top it with one last, tiny sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Now, go find a comfy chair, take a sip, and feel the day get instantly better.

# Notes:

01 - Use very ripe Fuyu persimmons for the best flavor and no chalkiness. Using a frozen banana is key for that thick, milkshake-like texture. For make-ahead ease, freeze the persimmon, banana, and oats in a bag for a quick smoothie pack. Serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for the best experience.
