Yes, Figs Make the Best Smoothies!

When it comes to quick & easy breakfasts, easy smoothies are the hands down winner in my book! They’re my favorite way to kick off my mornings because they provide a sippable serving of seasonal produce (like figs!) all in one glass, like my easy apple banana smoothie, and banana almond milk smoothie.

This light, creamy and naturally sweet fig smoothie is definitely checking all those boxes! For this simple smoothie we’re using ingredients like frozen bananas, figs, ground flax seed, Greek yogurt and any milk to create a fruity smoothie that tastes like a total treat.

The base recipe is very versatile and forgiving so you can customize it to work for you. You can use ANY other milk you like. Can’t do dairy? No worries! Simply swap in a plant-based yogurt or protein powder.

Robyn’s Testing Tips for this Easy Fig Recipe

Figs: Any type of fig will work for this smoothie, including Black Mission Figs, Adriatic Figs, Brown Turkey Figs, Green Figs and more. Frozen figs may also be used.

Frozen banana: The banana adds some natural sweetness, and you can use fresh or frozen banana in this recipe. If using fresh banana, be sure to add some ice for better texture.

Greek yogurt: I used unsweetened Greek yogurt for this recipe. For a dairy-free and vegan version, be sure to use plant-based yogurt in place of traditional yogurt.

Ground flaxseed: I find it easier to use ground flaxseed but you could also add whole flax seeds if you have a high speed blender. Chia seeds would also work in place of flax seeds in this recipe.

Milk of choice: You can use any milk you like. If you like a thinner consistency in your smoothies, add more milk.

Honey: Honey is optional in this recipe but I love the subtle sweetness it adds to this smoothie and how it compliments the flavor of the figs. You could also use another refined sugar free sweetener in its place like maple syrup, coconut nectar or agave. Or for a low-sugar version, feel free to omit it (the banana and figs will still add some sweetness to it).
