Simple Cooking Tips
Use Ripe Avocado: Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe for that extra creamy texture. If it’s too firm, you’ll miss out on the smooth consistency.
Chill Your Almond Milk: Using cold almond milk helps keep the smoothie nice and refreshing. You can even add a few extra ice cubes if you like it extra cold!
Blend on High: For the smoothest texture, blend on high for at least a minute. This ensures that the mint and espresso beans are fully incorporated.
Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your protein powder, you might want to add a touch of sweetness. A drizzle of maple syrup or a medjool date works perfectly.
Kitchen Tools You’ll Need
High-Speed Blender: A good blender is key to getting that creamy, smooth consistency.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For precise measurements (but honestly, I often eyeball it!).
Reusable Smoothie Straws: Because everything is more fun with a straw, right?
