Persimmon Smoothie Bowl

After the holidays full of chocolates, sweets and an insane amount of leftover stuffing, I can’t help but feel like it’s time for a serious detox when the new year comes around. Also, I feel like my appetite is out of control (do you?). The best thing I can do is rid the house of sweets, but the second best thing I can do is making a healthy (and beautiful) smoothie bowl each morning filled with fruit, fiber, and protein that will fill me until lunch. Here’s how we made our persimmon smoothie bowl that’s both filling and delicious…

We created our smoothie bowl with some of the freshest fruits in season: persimmons, pomegranates, pears, and kiwi. We also added whatever looked good in the grocery store this week and sounded good either in the smoothie or on top of our bowl: berries, mint, and banana, coconut, and almond honey granola.

Here’s our simple smoothie bowl recipe featuring persimmons, one of our favorite winter fruits, and Meta Appetite Control which contains 100% psyllium fiber, which naturally works with your body to help you feel less hungry between meals.*

1 persimmon peeled and chopped
1/2 banana
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped ice
1 cup almond milk

After mixing in our bananas, persimmons, and honey, we poured in the almond milk and cinnamon. Blend until smooth (we love our NutriBullet blender because it’s such a great, small size).

After pouring into a bowl, we decorated with almond honey granola, coconut flakes, pomegranate seeds, kiwi (cut into star shapes, we were feeling fancy!), blackberries and blueberries.

So delicious! I’m obsessed with smoothie bowls now, are you?
