If you’re looking to switch up your breakfast routine, then you’ve got to try this recipe. I’ve incorporated figs as a tasty and nutritious way to create a new smoothie. It’s almost like having a healthy dessert for breakfast!
Figs are typically in season late summer, so be sure to keep an eye out for the fresh fruit in your store in the months to come.
Otherwise, dried figs are a wonderful alternative. They are packed with antioxidants, fiber, and even immune supporting properties. As a powerful antifungal and antibacterial, figs also support your gut microbiome.
The unripe banana in this smoothie delivers a creamy texture and fiber through prebiotics, which fuels the healthy microbes in the gut to create a thriving intestinal flora.
Altogether, this delicious, refreshing smoothie makes the perfect breakfast or snack on those hot, humid summer days… or any time.
Ingredients
5 dried mission figs
1 frozen unripe banana, sliced

2 scoops Happy Gut Vanilla Cleanse Protein Powder
⅓ cup fresh blueberries
