CBD Persimmon Smoothie Bowl by Sous Weed
From the chef: I tend to go a little crazy when it’s persimmon season. I’ll load up at the farmers market and let them ripen on my countertop. A ripe persimmon is an explosion of spiced brown sugar and honey flavors, plus they’re loaded with vitamins. When they get soft and jammy and I’ll eat them standing over the kitchen sink because I’m classy like that.
Jammy persimmons are also excellent in a smoothie if you don’t want to get your hands dirty. Cacao nibs and almonds pair nicely with the persimmon and adds texture and crunch. For breakfast, add a little Medihaze High CBD Tincture to help keep brain fog at bay.
