Persimmon Carrot Hemp Smoothie is a low calorie yet a satisfyingly hydrating beverage. It’s a perfect energizing drink after workouts. It’s also a refreshing evening drink or a nutritious breakfast. All in all it’s a versatile beverage that’s vegan and gluten free.
Persimmon Carrot Hemp Smoothie is protein rich along with being high in potassium. It is also a good source of vitamin A and provides the much required fiber. It’s thick and slightly chewy satisfying the desire to eat as well as drink. Moreover it’s my husband’s favorite after workout energy drink.
I came up with this smoothie because I myself wanted to take a break from all the indulgent foods during the festivals. Even though I am a foodie and I loved to dig into everything around myself, I still craved for something light and nutritious. When I peeked into my refrigerator I found few juicy persimmons hiding. I love persimmons and I never leave any opportunity to stock my refrigerator with this wonderful fruit during the season.
Next, I looked for carrots and I found a bunch of baby carrots. Immediately, I got an idea to come up with an orange colored smoothie but without oranges. I needed to add some protein to my smoothie but I ran out of my favorite hemp protein powder. Just when I was about to give up I happily found hemp seeds in my kitchen pantry. I definitely had dates and almond milk in my kitchen. My smoothie recipe was born. Now, I just had to practically blend it.
Excitedly, I combined all the ingredients in the blender and blended it into a smoothie. It looked beautiful and divine. As soon as we sipped into our smoothies my family loved it immediately. It’s been 3 days now and I blend this Persimmon Carrot Hemp Smoothie every day. It’ our latest craze.
So, I would recommend you to get started and blend this smoothie ASAP. You won’t know its deliciousness until you blend it yourself.

This sounds intriguing! I have never had persimmons before. In the past I told myself that I would try a new food each month, but haven’t followed through. Maybe this year is the year to stick to that resolution!
