Top of the day to you.

Every morning I always have whatever fruit is in season and it has to be ripe. Well there are a few things in season right now, but the oranges are coming and are in abundance. I was out to the Eagle's Nest Organic Grove where I get the bulk of my oranges. They are ready for a bumper crop this year and have all new equipment to do it up right. But I got some of the best Persimmons you could get anywhere on the planet. I made a drink this morning that was a fabulous treat. You almost wonder how anything this good can be this good for you and still be legal! :>)

INGREDIENTS:

2 ripe Persimmons
2 pounds of fresh Red Seedless Grapes
6 ripe Bananas

Even though these ingredients have been in a couple of the last two or three recipes, this drink is sure to be a staple in your house. And it's one of those that is quick and very easy. Here's how to do it.

Just wash the Grapes and let drain in a colander. And by the way, Persimmons can be optional in this recipe. But they give the whole drink an incredibly smooth texture. Put the Grapes in your Vita Mix or a good Blender and put the Persimmons and Bananas on top of it and blend for 30 seconds at the max. It's a grand slam to start the day. ENJOY!
