Notes

The nutrition facts provided are just an estimate and can vary depending on brands, specific ingredients, and amounts used.

I used Dried Smyrna Figs from Costco. Be sure to remove the stems first.

Dates can be used in place of dried figs, if it's what you have.

The peanut butter gives a subtle but distinct flavor that kids notice. If using an alternative to peanut butter, be sure to use one your kids like.

Serving this smoothie with a straw will make this smoothie more appealing to most kids.

Frozen banana can be used in place of a fresh over-ripe banana. The consistency will be a little thicker, so you may want to add an additional one to two tablespoons of milk to thin it out.

There are just enough ingredients in this smoothie recipe to use the 64 ounce low-profile container that comes with the standard model of the Vitamix.
