Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the dried figs, plain Greek yogurt, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes. Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with almond or oat milk and a plant-based yogurt. Soak dried figs in warm water for 10 minutes to soften if your blender is less powerful.
