2 weeks ago, my parents brought me the best present ever: fresh figs from their tree. I knew I would be tempted to eat nothing but figs until they disappeared unless I froze some of them, so I removed their stems, sliced them in half and packed them in an airtight container. Boy am I glad I did because this dairy-free yet creamy shake was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Feel free to experiment with soy, hemp or regular milk.

  • Ingredients
  • 15 fresh figs that have been halved and frozen $4
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 cup almond milk $2.50 for 32 oz.
Total Cost of Ingredients $6.50

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add more almond milk if necessary to achieve desired texture.

Serves 2.

Why do the figs need to be frozen?
