Notes

Depending on the size of your avocado you may need more or less water.

I wanted to keep mine on the thicker side so ½ Cup was perfect for me.

If you use a large blender like I did, you will need to scrape the sides down a few times until It gets moving.

You can also use a smaller, magic bullet-style blender, if you have one!

I you don't like cilantro, you can omit it.

And if you are sensitive to spice, start with ½ of a jalapeño.
