GrowingGreat will be at the TEDx “Game Changers” event this Saturday, November 15th, from 9-3pm at Manhattan Beach Middle School – more event details here. We will be passing out tastes of a yummy persimmon “pumpkin pie” smoothie (recipe below). We hope to see you there!

Persimmon Pumpkin Pie Spiced Smoothie

Ingredients:

•  2 Persimmons, peeled and roughly chopped – either Fuyu short & firm or Hachiya soft & long

•  1 C Hazelnut milk OR other favorite alternative milk like almond
•  1 Tbl coconut butter or oil
