SPICY PUMPKIN PERSIMMON SMOOTHIE

My Spicy Pumpkin Persimmon Smoothie combines homemade pumpkin puree (which I also share my recipe for in this post!) and sweet and creamy persimmon with spicy fall flavours of fresh ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. This is one of my favourite smoothies yet -- it tastes like an indulgent treat, but it's brimming with healthy, nourishing, seasonal ingredients!
