Warming and full of minerals
This smoothie with pumpkin and persimmon is creamy and perfect for autumn and winter. Instead of water, you can also use a plant-based milk, such as (rice-)coconut milk or oat milk. Note that if you let the smoothie sit for a while, the persimmon will make the smoothie thicker. It is nice to scoop it up as a smoothie bowl or blend again with some liquid.
This recipe is from the Your 50 Days of Green Happiness winter book. We created this book to provide you with a handbook and handy tools to start a healthy plant-based lifestyle. In the winter edition, we use ingredients that are in season. In addition to the 50 complete day menus with nutritional values and shopping lists, we have an entire section with different warming winter smoothies. But also a Christmas menu, great movies to watch on a rainy day, and lifestyle tips.

Instructions
1. Was de pompoen, haal de pitten eruit en snijd in kleine stukjes. Was de kaki en haal het kroontje eraf.
2. Doe de pompoen (wij gebruiken hem rauw, maar je kunt de stukjes ook even kort stomen), kaki, speculaaskruiden, kokosbloesemsuiker en water in de blender. Mix tot een gladde smoothie. Verdeel over twee grote glazen en serveer. Je kunt de smoothie afgedekt in de koelkast ongeveer twee dagen bewaren.
