FIG AND DATE CARAMEL SHAKE

The Fig and Date Caramel Shake is a naturally sweet and creamy beverage that tastes like a decadent caramel treat but is packed with wholesome ingredients. The combination of figs and Medjool dates provides a natural caramel-like sweetness while delivering a boost of fibre, vitamins and minerals. Oat milk offers a smooth and dairy-free base, while cinnamon and vanilla extract enhance the flavour with warm, aromatic undertones. This shake is an excellent option for a nutritious breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up or a post-workout refuel. Unlike artificial caramel drinks loaded with processed sugars, this shake is naturally sweetened and provides lasting energy without the sugar crash. Enjoy it on its own or garnish it with crushed nuts, cacao nibs or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and richness.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this fig and date caramel shake.

  • Soak The Fig And Date: This softens the dried fruits, making them easier to blend into a smooth consistency.
  • Use High-Quality Dates: Medjool dates are naturally softer and sweeter, making them perfect for this shake.
  • Blend For Longer: Ensures the fig and date are fully incorporated without chunks.
  • Sweeten To Taste: If you prefer a sweeter shake, add an extra date or a drizzle of honey.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom adds depth to the warm spice profile.
  • Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the oat milk for a spoonable smoothie bowl topped with nuts and granola.

VARIATIONS

  • Higher Protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon protein powder.
  • Nutty Twist: Add a teaspoon of almond butter or cashew butter for a richer taste.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut or almond milk for a different texture.
  • Spiced Version: Mix in a pinch of nutmeg, ginger or cardamom for extra warmth.
  • Chocolate Blend: Stir in 1 tsp of cocoa powder for a caramel-chocolate twist.
  • Tropical Version: Add a handful of shredded coconut for extra flavour.
  • Dessert-Style Treat: Top with coconut whipped cream and a drizzle of date syrup.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Stir before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with fresh oat milk when ready to serve.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion figs and dates into freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.
