Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh ripe figs stemmed and quartered
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp almond butter optional for creaminess
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir well before drinking as separation is natural. Make-Ahead: For a quicker morning blend, pre-measure the dry spices and pre-cut the figs the night before and store in the fridge. Variations: Substitute the figs with 1/2 cup of dried figs (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes first) or use 1/2 cup of mango for a tropical twist. For a protein boost, add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder. Serving Suggestion: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few fresh fig slices, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra flair.
