Additional Tips
- For a creamier texture and enhanced tang, use Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk, or try a blend of both for a layered flavor profile.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute buttermilk with chilled coconut or almond milk and use maple syrup or agave nectar in place of honey.
- Soak dried figs and apricots in warm water for 10-15 minutes before blending to ensure a smoother, silkier smoothie without gritty bits.
- For a refreshing twist, add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few fresh mint leaves before blending, which complements the natural sweetness and adds a subtle aromatic note.
