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.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 fresh figs or dried figs*
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons tahini almond butter, or hazelnut butter
- ¾ to 1 cup water add more if needed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 cup ice cubes more/less
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together (except ice) on high.
- When creamy, then add in ice and blend until thick and creamy.
