FAQs
Can I use a different type of persimmon?
Yes, but fuyu persimmons are recommended because they are firm and sweet when ripe. Other types may need to be fully soft and can affect the texture of the smoothie.
What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?
You can replace pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to achieve a similar warm flavor.
