Red Grape and Fig Green Smoothie Recipe

I’ve been making a bunch of fig smoothies recently when I stumbled on this creation which is a blend of fig and red grape. It’s delicious and a good source of calcium, iron and antioxidants.

This smoothie is a good meal-replacement because it’s got over 500 calories and 9 grams of protein!

Red Grape and Fig Smoothie Recipe

• 5 medium, fresh figs
• 1 cup organic red grapes
• 1/2 head romaine lettuce
• 2 organic bananas
• 4 ounces filtered water

Add all the ingredients except for the lettuce to your blender and hit the “pulse” button a few times. Next, add the rest of the lettuce and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

You can use any mild flavored green in this recipe. I recommend Romaine, but green or red leaf lettuce or fresh baby spinach will work well also.

You can easily cut the recipe in half too. Just leave out one banana and only add 2-3 figs and half of the grapes.
