Secret Mango Creamsicle Smoothie
You might not be able to put your finger on what makes this smoothie unique, but you’ll want to keep drinking it over and over again. The secret ingredient is persimmon, which provides sweetness and creaminess while letting the mango flavor shine through. This smoothie tastes like the freshest, healthiest Creamsicle you’ve ever had. Persimmons are known for their sweet, honey-like flavor and the wildly divergent textures of the two main varieties. Fuyu persimmons resemble apples in both shape and the crispness of their flesh, while Hachiya persimmons are more oblong and their flesh has a delicate, creamy, jelly-like consistency, which makes them perfect for eating with a spoon—or, even better, putting in your smoothies. Fuyus are great for smoothies, too, but no matter which variety you pick, make sure that they’re super ripe before going in the blender. There’s plenty of protein in this smoothie from the almond butter and hemp seeds and a boost of fiber from the fruit, veg, and flax.
