Frosty Fig Shake
Figs are my favorite replacement for starchy bananas when it comes to shakes, as figs make rich and creamy dairy free shakes! I love to use fresh figs in this shake when possible, but you can use dried figs or dates. *If you don’t have a high speed blender, then you may want to soak the dried figs in water for 30 minutes prior to blending to help soften them. Dates will also work as a substitute, but dates don’t usually make the shake as thick and creamy as the figs, though they will make this shake equally delicious.
