Fig season is a personal favorite of mine. I use them in everything I can—from topping toasts and oats and baking in desserts. When they start to appear at the market with all their hues of purple and green I stock up! Figs are fragile and spoil quickly so my secret is to freeze the overripe fruit before it turns, preserving the short and fleeting season as long as possible. This figgy smoothie is decadent with a touch of sweet and spicy cinnamon. It’s creamy with some texture from the sticky seeded flesh. The color of this smoothie will depend on the type of figs you use. I’m partial to Black Mission with its delicate purple-black skin and sweet and earthy flavor as well as rosy-violet hued Celeste.
