Avocados

Avocados are a rich source of folate, vitamin A and potassium. They have useful amounts of protein, iron, magnesium, and vitamins C, E and B6. They are rich in monounsaturated oil, the same heart-friendly fat found in olive oil, and have more soluble fiber than any other fruit.
Passed by a fruit stall at the neighbourhood and saw some australia avocados and decided to buy one. Costed me $2! Didn't know it to be so expensive but after that saw the same avocados at NTUC which costed only $1.35 each.. :(


Great combination!
I made the avocado milkshake ( I remembered Shirley - Heidi's mummy told me avocado with smoo milk taste great) and gave Phoebe tried during her snack time. Well, she finished the whole cup though she made a wierd face at the first sip..I tried too and agreed with Shirley, the milkshake tasted delicious. I used to drink this particular avocado milkshake at the engineering or errr..is it science canteen in NUS (cannot remember liao) when I was working there few years bck..I think they added some other ingredient in and a different kind of milk which made me so unforgettable about the taste. Wonder what they are so I can make myself one at home too.. and that mummy and daddy can enjoy this delicious healthy drink too!
