Cran-Carrot Persimmon OJ Fizz

Want a recipe for a Thanksgiving-esque juice?  I thought so.  Perhaps have a glass of this and a Cranberry & Candied Ginger Muffin for Thanksgiving breakfast?  I’m totally doing that.  Decision made. 

A friend of mine brought me a nice big bag of persimmons!  How gorgeous are they?

But the only thing I’ve ever done with persimmons is cut them up and eat them raw!  So I searched around for some other ideas.  Next up, I think I need to try this panini recipe from Healthy. Happy. Life.  Chocolate and persimmon panini?  Okay!

But I had half a bag of leftover fresh cranberries from my Cranberry & Candied Ginger Muffins, so thought I should juice some cranberries!  Add persimmons to sweeten them up.  Good plan.  Cranberries, carrots, persimmons, and oranges make for such a vibrant wonderful quintessentially fall beverage!  

Then I threw in a new find: fresh turmeric root!  Turmeric has wonderful detoxifying anti-inflammatory effects, so I was really excited to see the fresh root at Whole Foods.  It looks a lot like ginger, but in much smaller pieces, and you can see a bright orange color from under the skin.  Into the juice it goes!  


serves 2
3 persimmons
2 carrots
1 C fresh cranberries
1 small orange, peeled
1 inch piece fresh ginger
1 inch piece fresh turmeric root
1/2 C sparkling water

Juice first 5 ingredients.  Stir in sparkling water.

Tough recipe, eh?

Just look how pretty!!!  

Want a behind-the-photoshoot peek?  Here’s what was happening at the other end of my dining table while I was taking these pictures . . . No idea what he saw under there 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
