Cookix's Secrets

Avocado Selection

  • Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal creaminess.

Consistency

  • Adjust the number of ice cubes to achieve your desired thickness; frozen fruit can add chill without watering down.

Dairy-Free

  • Use almond milk and coconut yogurt instead of dairy for a vegan-friendly option.

Green Boost

  • Add a handful of baby spinach or kale for extra vitamins and a vibrant green color.

Protein-Rich

  • Stir in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for a post-workout recovery drink.

Sweetness Balance

  • Taste before serving and add an extra drizzle of honey or a splash of maple syrup if you like it sweeter.

Tropical Twist

  • Blend in fresh mango chunks or pineapple juice to introduce bright, summery flavors.
