Additional

For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut cream and honey with agave syrup. You can also add a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost. Kids would love to drop the ingredients into the blender and push the blend button. Also, this is an excellent way to sneak in some greens into their diet, as the sweetness of figs and honey masks the taste of zucchini.
