Fresh Fig and Banana Milkshake

Fresh Fig and Banana Milkshake

This was a simple but lovely treat on an extremely hot summer afternoon.  I had been snacking away on my first figs of the season when I remembered the bag of frozen bananas in the freezer.  Combined with whole milk, fresh figs, and a touch of local honey, I had a feeling that one of those bananas would turn into a unique and delicious shake.  I was right.

Fresh Fig and Banana Milkshake

6 ounces whole milk
1 frozen banana, cut into chunks
4 fresh mission figs, quartered (remove stem first)
1-2 teaspoons honey (optional)

Place all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.  Serves two.

    Georgia - Yes, we have figs now! I bought a small basket at the Farmer's Market and by the next day I had offers from two friends who have full trees :-)

    It seems like a coincidence that you posted this b/c I just made an apricot and banana milkshake just like your recipe (drinking right now). It WAS going to be a fig and banana milkshake, but I got scared. Will DEFINITELY try the figs now! I used plain Brown Cow yogurt, but whole milk sounds delicious. Keep em coming!

    Yum, what a great recipe, I'll definitely be trying it out. I love Figs! I would not have thought to use them in a milkshake, but together this seems like a perfect milkshake. Thank you for sharing!!

    We had some early figs a couple weeks ago at the market I volunteer at and I was so excited...until I brought them home and really had no idea what to do with them. This looks like a perfect idea!! I also have some super ripe peaches, I might try peach and fig as well!

    What a beautiful recipe! I adore fresh figs but they are pretty hard to come by. I love the bubbles on the top of your milk shake!

    I live in the south and have actually never seen fresh figs in my local grocery stores. I've always wanted to try them. Maybe some day I'll stumble upon them. And when I do, this sounds good.
