How do you feel about delicious PERSIMMON SOOTHIE with Quinoa Granola? Full of nutrients that will give you a boost in the morning or you can take it with you while on the go!!! You can make the granola ahead of time and store it in a sealed jar. It can last up to one week. It is always better to make your own, since that way is refined sugar free.

Persimmons are in season now, and even if they are not growing in Canada, they are sweet and juicy. Besides, the price is right too. I bought the whole basket for less than $5 CAN, so I will be enjoying this smoothie everyday this week. Tangerines are in season now as well and boy they are so yummy. I also bought dragon fruit for a very good price, but we only get the one with white flesh. Oh well. Hopefully someday I get to try the pink one when I for vacation.

Also, they are usually two types of Persimmons in available on the market. The Fuyu, which is smaller and Hachiya that is larger. You can read more about them HERE if you like. They are many ways how to eat them but I personally prefer smoothies, therefore I have another recipe for you, the SUNSHINE SMOOTHIE. Both these smoothies will make you feel like you are on Topical Island and fill you up with energy.
