Chef tips
Use a very ripe persimmon for better natural sweetness and a more velvety texture. Chill the glasses for 10 minutes before serving so the smoothie stays cold longer.
Substitutions
You can replace the milk with oat or almond milk, although allergens and dietary tags will change. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup. Walnuts can be swapped for pecans.
