Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, use very ripe figs and well-chilled yogurt. If the figs have thicker skins, you can strain the smoothie after blending.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness, and swap the milk for oat or almond milk; keep in mind this will change the allergens and dietary tags.
