Tips for the Best Avocado Milkshake
- Use a ripe avocado: A soft, ripe avocado ensures the milkshake is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less sugar.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk.
- Add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning and to enjoy its freshest taste.
