All you require for this recipe is a food processor, willingness to get your hands dirty and an imagination!  Be creative with your superfood toppings; I chose Goji Berry Powder, crushed pistachios, Maqui Berry Powder, shredded coconut and maca powder.  To crush the pistachios the easy way is process shelled pistachios in a mini food processor until they form almost a powder.  Other toppings can include raw cacao powder, cacao nibs, camu berry powder or pomegranate powder; the options are endless!

Look how beautiful and colorful these are, and pack a nutritional punch!  Figs fall in the category of the World’s Healthiest Foods, here are just a few nutritional benefits figs have to offer:

• Lower High Blood Pressure due to high amount of potassium
• Good source of dietary fiber
• Cardiovascular effects
• Protect against Macular Degeneration
