Chef tips
Use very ripe persimmon for the silkiest texture and natural sweetness. If your blender is less powerful, let the oats soak in the milk for 5 minutes before blending.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup for a strict vegetarian version. Greek yogurt can be swapped for thick plain yogurt, and mandarin can be replaced with clementine.
