Raw Persimmon Pudding

I just made the most deliciously thick green smoothie pudding - courtesy of Valya Boutenko - definitely going back to Safeway for more persimmons!

Raw Persimmon Pudding
1 persimmon
5 very large strawberries
1 banana
2-3 stalks wild celery, with leaves
(I used regular celery, but since I love wild celery which is more nutritious and tastier, I'll go to the Abbotsford Farmers Market this Saturday for the wild version.)

• Remove top and seed from persimmon and discard, place remaining persimmon in a blender
• Add strawberries and banana to blender
• If using a Vitamix you will want to use the tamber. Omitting water thickens a green smoothie into a pudding.
• When fruit is mixed thoroughly, add celery, one stalk at a time
• Blend till smooth and pour into dessert dishes - Fast, Easy and Delish!
