Cookix's Secrets

Equipment

  • A high-speed blender ensures a silky-smooth texture; pulse on low speed first to chop fruit, then ramp up to high.

Freshness

  • Add delicate toppings like fresh kiwi and banana slices just before serving to prevent browning and sogginess.

Green Boost

  • Add a handful of baby spinach or kale to the blender for an extra dose of greens without altering the sweet taste.

Make-Ahead

  • Blend the base and refrigerate covered for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving to restore creaminess.

Nut-Free Option

  • Omit almond butter and mixed nuts; top with pumpkin seeds or sunflower seed butter for crunch without tree nuts.

Protein Swap

  • Use pea protein powder or collagen peptides instead of vanilla vegan powder to change the protein profile and flavor.

Spice & Zest

  • Blend in a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric to the base, or top with lemon zest for an aromatic lift.

Texture

  • Keep the blend thick by using mostly frozen fruit and adding extra oat milk sparingly—too much liquid thins the bowl.

Tropical Twist

  • Swap mixed berries for frozen mango and pineapple, and replace oat milk with coconut water for a bright, tangy flavor.
