Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the dried figs, chia seeds, 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 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

Soak the dried figs for 10 minutes in warm water before blending to soften them and improve texture. Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
