Figs, figs, figs! They seem to be everywhere this year! When did they become so popular? I mean I always knew Fig Newton’s existed, but now-a-days fresh figs are so abundant! Trader Joe’s even sells them in a bag-frozen. I decided to jump on the fig bandwagon, and I am glad I did!
Figs have a wonderful subtle sweet flavor, with a soft flesh and crunchy seeds that you can eat. They are nutritious and good for you too! They are super source of potassium, have a great deal of fiber, and contain antioxidants. You can bake with them and utilize their sweet side, or use them to balance out a earthy salad, or even put them on top of an artisan wood fired pizza- yum!
This shake is awesome! It’s a great way to get some figs into your diet, and change up your shake/smoothie routine with something a bit out of the box. The combination of cinnamon combined with vanilla and fig reminds me of a really tasty oatmeal cookie.
