5-Minute Fig Smoothie

Yes, Figs Make the Best Smoothies!

When it comes to quick & easy breakfasts, easy smoothie recipes 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. Want to turn this into a smoothie bowl instead? I’ve got you covered with full directions below.

Tip: This recipe works with fresh or frozen figs, to help keep your options open on busy mornings! If you’re using fresh fruit but love a good, cold smoothie, simply add a little bit of ice to your blender to thicken things up.

Tip: This smoothie can easily be made vegan and dairy-free. I’ve included simple modifications for you below so everyone can enjoy it!

Fig Smoothie Variations

• Without yogurt: Omit the yogurt and use 2 scoops vanilla protein powder in its place.
• Without banana: Skip the banana, but be sure to add some ice and the optional honey.
• Fig smoothie bowl: To make a fig smoothie bowl, make the smoothie thicker by only using 3/4 cup of milk. Be sure to use frozen banana and frozen peaches to help you get that thick consistency. Once blended, pour into a bowl and add your choice of smoothie bowl toppings.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Figs: Any type of fresh or frozen 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 to this smoothie. 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).
