#26 - My milkshake brings...

..All you people to my blog. HA HA. Okay so yes I'll be talking about milkshake but not chocolate or strawberry OR vanilla but A.V.O.C.A.D.O!!!!!! YAY!!!! You can probably tell that I really love the fruit. Yes, in fact I really enjoy eating them/drinking them because they go well with salads, sandwiches, facial washes(?) and milkshakes of course. I recently made an avocado milkshake for myself and here's how.

I think that this beverage is something easy that everyone can make and certain ingredients are things that most people would already have!

Milk is an essential part of this beverage because not only does it allow the avocado to be sipped on, it makes it easier to blend and it's also good for your bones. Depending on how many avocados you use, the end product should be thick rather than liquid. Also, you can choose to add any amount of milk to your preference. At the end of the day, it's all about your own taste, right? Personally, I added 1 cup of milk to 1 avocado. So ratio is 1:1 .

Sugar is what tingles the taste buds. I feel that avocado has a nutty kind of taste to it but it's neither sweet nor sour. Adding sugar will make a big difference to the drink so add however you prefer. I prefer the in-between where I can taste the nuttiness of the avocado and the slight sweetness of the sugar. In case you were wondering what the brown stuff is you see on the authentically made drinks, it's gula melaka. So, I am just replacing that with sugar.

Last but not least, Avocado. I bought 3 at one shot from the supermarket and two of them were unripe. I waited for them to ripen before using and once the skin turns brown, it's appropriate to use them. After slicing the avocado into half, I twisted them and pulled the halves apart and since all I needed were the flesh, I took out the seed. I had no idea that you needed SKILL to pull the seed out so I'm going to pass down my knowledge like how shifu did to Po.

With half an avocado in your hand, take the knife and chop down on the seed. Once the knife is stuck to the seed (not your fingers), twist it and it SHOULD come out. Be very careful because I don't want it turning into a halloween prank. After this, just dig the flesh out with a spoon and throw it into the blender together with the ice, sugar and milk!
