I would like to try this smoothie. The ingredients are intriguing. One question - where would I find the black mission figs?
I do shop around, but must admit I have never heard of or seen them. Any input?
Tried it this morning--surprisingly good. The avocado makes it so rich and creamy, and I didn't taste the balsamic vinegar. I think it's a flavor that really compliments the figs, and doesn't stand out. And I feel so good about (finally!) eating some of my greens!
I tried this today, and found it so thick it was not drinkable. I added an extra cup of apple juice and it was much better. Perhaps because my blender is a $40 Wal-Mart brand, not a Vita-Mix?
