At ZOKU, we love Fall for its flannels, changing leaves, and tasty treats like caramel apples. But what we love most are the seasonal flavors in our favorite coffeeshops. However, buying fall-flavored coffee or tea multiple times a week can be expensive and time-consuming. But don't worry, you can still enjoy your favorite fall drink by making it at home with our autumn-approved recipes.

Make a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Milkshake using ZOKU's Slush and Shake Maker. Add sprinkles and whipped cream for a delightful treat to share with loved ones.

This Valentine’s Day try recreating one of these Zoku crafts to make that special someone feel all warm & fuzzy inside. 

Sure, bananas are pretty great as is, but sometimes it’s nice to change things up and transform them from snackable fruit to scrumptious dessert. And, you guessed it, this recipe is all about doing exactly that!

To create this bananalicious treat, we’ll first walk you through whipping up homemade caramel sauce before transforming a regular smoothie into a delicious frozen one using the Slush & Shake Maker. Not only is this Frozen Caramel Banana Smoothie recipe perfect for cooling off on a hot day, but it’s also a great way to ensure extra bananas you might have at home don’t go to waste. Plus, if you still have leftover bananas after trying this recipe, you can peel and freeze them in freezer safe containers for use at a later date.
