Ok so if you guys read The Skinny Confidential Lifestyle Guide & this post you already know that I AM OBSESSED WITH WEN cleansing conditioner. Their products are bomb.com ( << just realness ).
So when they asked me to create a fig recipe to match their fig conditioner, I said “uhhhh…duh.”
I genuinely love WEN, so it’s kind of a win/win. The creator of WEN, Chaz Dean just understands a woman’s hair. My locks always look super luscious after using the product.
AND FIGS!!!
YOU GUYSS!!! I mean…it’s all about figs.
So today I present: honey/fig jam.
It’s kinda like this little quick raspberry jam but it’s almost better because what the hell is better than figs x honey ( plus some lemon & chia seed )? So Martha S.
Going off on a tangent here: remember Fig Newton’s? Makes me feel so nostalgic. Everyone ate them when they were younger? Yellow box? Anyway I can vividly remember my parents thinking they were fully healthy.
Whelp- welcome to 2014, because guess what?
They’re filled with GMO’s…UGGGH.
So attention Fig Newton lovers: this raw honey fig jam will replace the so-called ‘healthy cookies.’
And FIGSSSS!! Like, the real figs…they’re full of benefits. To name a few: they are filled ( like, FILLED ) with fiber, they keep your digestive system healthy ( nudge, nudge, wink, wink ), & are a major antioxidant/super food.
For this recipe: cut figs in half, scoop fig-goodness out ( I used the best invention ever: a melon scooper ), add to a tiny bowl, add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 2 squeezes of lemon, 3 squeezes of raw honey, & mash/mash/mash ( ‘Crush’ mashing bowl found here ). Spread on your favorite piece of toast ( I prefer a Rudi’s spelt English muffin with this 5 second recipe ). Other options: add to two ingredient pancakes, use as a baked potato or sweet potato topping, &/or crackers with cheese.
So eat your figs, people.
Ok, so I’m totally going to go wash my hair with fig conditioner & eat fig jam.
Peace, Lauryn

Omg I’m with you – figs = absolute pleasure for me! There is nothing better. And fig newtons need to clean up their act! Ugh until then I’ll be enjoying this honey fig jam on everything. Oh I bet it’s amazing on pancakes! Thanks for sharing and I’ll have to check out WEN fig conditioner.

Love this idea. I totally could eat this up on a rice cake. I’m kinda over my current toppings.

: ) I love anything easy! Ha!
Yum! The recipie looks delish!!
Regarding Wen….can you please tell me how you use it?
I used it 3x and gave up. It left my hair super greasy, flat and limp. Maybe I was using it wrong?
Lauryn you have gorgeous hair!! I’ll have to check through your posts to see if you ever did a healthy long hair post, but if not could you please do one? I’ve been trying to get my hair long and healthy after extensions and blonde (went back to brunette)
I use it once a week. I barely wash my hair! Here’s a hair post: http://www.theskinnyconfidential.com/2012/10/18/messy-hair-careeeee/
Gotta try this!

: ) glad you liked it!
where did you find your figs?! I keep checking the farmers and mother’s market and never see any!!
I found them at Jimbo’s in Del Mar! x
I’m totally digging your jams! I have a hard time finding figs, but whenever I scoop them up whenever I see them. I will definitely give this a try.
Thanks!

I LOVE JAM!! Ahhh! It’s so fun to add to weird things like potatoes or spaghetti squash or even oatmeal!
My hairdresser said that Wen is a no no because it clogs your scalp and prevents hair growth. Bummer. Yummy jam, though! Figs are to die for.
I haven’t had that problem!! But yes, I LOVE FIGS!!
Wen is everything! It’s my number one when it comes to my hair secret post. 🙂

I am weirdly obsessed with figs…must make this!
Hi, I am making the fig honey. I had a pack of dried figs with me for a while. Not knowing what to do, I was about to chuck it away, luckily I saw your post. Thanks for the wonderful yet easy recipe.
