Fig Chia Protein Shake

 

Any fig fans out there? Figs are naturally delicious and sweet and are everywhere this time of year so I decided to make protein shake with them. I make this simple one depending on my mood using natural protein powder when I just want to taste the fig, chai when I want to spice it up, and vanilla when I am indifferent.

 

Fig Chia Protein Shake

Makes 1 serving

1- 1 1/2 c unsweetened almond milk, or non dairy milk of choice (used So Delicious Unsweetened Almond Milk Plus, for extra protein)

5 mission figs

1 scoop chai, vanilla, or natural protein powder (used Vega One Chai for this one, love it with all 3 flavors)

1 TBSP chia seeds, plus extra for sprinkling on top

ice, optional

 

Place everything into a Vitamix, or high-speed blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into glass, sprinkle with chia seeds, enjoy!

As a Vega Recipe Ambassador I receive Vega products, which I used as an option in this recipe. I use Vega not because it is given to me but because it has been my plant-based protein of choice since before I started blogging and some recipes are made with Vega products I purchase. I only write about foods I love, my blog is an extension of my hobby to make fun healthy food creations for me and my family.
