Japanese Persimmon & Acerola Smoothie

This is a perfect autumn seasonal smoothie

Hi friends, We are writing this from our family country house in the Stockholm archipelago. There is a thin layer of snow outside and freezing cold air is sipping in from every little window sill and cranny, and therefore I am manically keeping the fire burning in our fireplace. The kids are waiting for me to finish this so we can continue building this year's gingerbread house (which is a way too ambitious project for a gingerbread house amateur and three kids), so I have promised to keep things short... We wanted to share some last minute recipe inspiration in case you still haven't decided what to cook over the holidays. Below you will find a roundup of some of our most beloved GKS Christmas recipes - mains, sides, salads and treats. And if you keep scrolling there is also the recipe for a Saffron & Millet Salad which we think is the perfect crossover between a main, side and salad. While we were cooking this, the snow started falling so when the salad was ready we took it outside and I love how magical the photos came out with the trees and the snow.

Persimmon & Acerola is rich in vitamin C and high antioxidant that can help to prevent free radical damage, colds and protects the immune system. I also added fresh ginger and cinnamon it helps to increase the body temperature!

Here is how to make it!
