Ripe figs taste of honey and berries, cherimoya of banana and pineapple. Together they make an unusually sweet, creamy smoothie with a dusky pink-brown colour.

Very sweet and creamy with honey-like fig flavour, tropical notes and a slight seed crunch.
Fresh figs are in season in late summer and autumn and bring a jammy sweetness plus their tiny, crunchy seeds. They are known as a good source of fibre. Cherimoya adds a creamy, tropical note and makes the texture silky without banana.
A small handful of baby spinach adds a little green without changing the flavour much. This is a smoothie for dessert lovers, best enjoyed slowly as a snack.
Yes, soak 2 dried figs in warm water for 15 minutes first. The smoothie will be sweeter and darker.
No, the thin skin is edible and blends well.
Creamy and sweet, often compared to a mix of banana, pineapple and pear. It is sometimes called custard apple.
