Apparently figs are in season, which means the perfect way to cool down during what is left of these hot summer months is a fig smoothie. This recipe from Julie at the Free People blog consists of not just figs, but also roasted strawberries and pistachios. Whether as a breakfast or a snack, this beverage is a tasty option as the seasons change.
To make your own fig smoothie, you will need fresh black figs, roasted strawberries, banana and coconut milk (or your preferred milk variety). You can also add a variety of toppings including chopped pistachios, hemp seeds, granola, sliced almonds, sliced fresh figs, more banana, honey and anything else you might want on there.
