After several months of drinking my favorite green monster (the virgin), I decided to experiment. I brought my obsession with dried figs into the picture, and voila! I discovered my go-to recipe. The cucumber makes this smoothie especially smooth and creamy, and the figs add a fantastic sweetness!
Hope you enjoy!
