# Seasonal Smoothie Recipes This Roasted Strawberry and Fig Smoothie is Topped with Pistachios By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-09-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fig-smoothie References: [blog.freepeople](http://blog.freepeople.com/2015/08/celebrate-fig-season-fig-pistachio-roasted-strawberry-smoothie/) Apparently figs are in season, which means the perfect way to cool down during what is left of these hot summer months is a fig smoothie. This recipe from Julie at the Free People blog consists of not just figs, but also roasted strawberries and pistachios. Whether as a breakfast or a snack, this beverage is a tasty option as the seasons change. To make your own fig smoothie, you will need fresh black figs, roasted strawberries, banana and [coconut milk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glowup) (or your preferred milk variety). You can also add a variety of toppings including chopped pistachios, hemp seeds, granola, sliced almonds, sliced fresh figs, more banana, honey and anything else you might want on there. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seasonal Smoothies:** Opportunity for innovating unique, seasonal flavors and ingredients in smoothie recipes. - **Roasted Fruit:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to introduce roasted fruits in smoothies for enhanced flavors and textures. - **Alternative Milk:** Opportunity to explore and promote the use of alternative milk varieties in smoothie recipes for dietary preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for smoothie-focused businesses to capitalize on the demand for seasonal, unique smoothie recipes. - **Health and Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the health and wellness industry to develop new functional smoothie products using roasted fruits and alternative milk varieties. - **Agriculture:** Opportunity for farmers and growers to promote and supply seasonal fruits and develop partnerships with smoothie businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Roasted Fig Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figgee.md) - [Turmeric-Infused Summer Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-sunshine.md) - [Freeze-Dried Fig Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-dried-fig.md) - [Side Dish Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-smoothie.md) - [20-Ingredient Beauty Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildberry-glow-smoothie.md) - [Fall-Dessert Inspired Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-pie-smoothie.md) - [Ricotta Cheese Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-smoothie-day.md) - [Swirled Strawberry Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-swirl-smoothie.md) - [Autumnally Flavored Smoothie Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robeks-smoothies.md)
