Christmas in August? New smoothie recipe: Green Eggnog! • 08.04.09
Fresh figs are appearing and I bought my first batch this past week. I’ll confess that I’ve never had a fresh fig until now. Figs are a great nutritionally!
- high mineral content, filled with potassium, calcium, iron and trace manganese
- high fiber
- good source of flavonoid and polyphenols (plant-based antioxidants)
I bought enough figs that I knew I would need to find a smoothie recipe to help me use them up. After some poking around online and experimenting on my own, I discovered a smoothie that was, to the taste buds, Christmas in August. So here it is, the recipe for “Green Eggnog!” Enjoy!
Healthy Green Eggnog Recipe

- 1/2 cup coconut milk
