Celebrating with a Avocado Smoothie
I can’t remember eating a lot of avocados when I was a kid, but when I was studying at Tel Aviv University, avocados were cheap and delicious so I ate them A LOT. I also noticed that moms were feeding it to their babies everywhere. Apparently, avocados are one of the most easily digestible vegetables out there. Not to mention, it was portable. Moms just walked around with an avacodo in their purse, opened it up with a plastic knife and started feeding it to their babies with a spoon. No fuss/no muss.
In honor of Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) and because I finished the Sporting Life 10K today – I decided to make an avocado smoothie.
This is what you need: one avocado, 1 1/2 cups milk, 3 tablespoons cane sugar, a few ice cubes. ps. huge thanks to Manotas Organics and Fine Foods for the cane sugar! Instructions; Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend till smooth.
Apparently in the Philippines ,their version of guacamole is a sweet not a savoury. So I tried it.
All you need is: one avocado, 1/4 cup of condensed milk.
Instructions: mash avocado with the condensed milk.
However I have to be honest. It wasnt a hit in our house. We still like it – plain or with a little salt and pepper.
Our favorite recipe for avocado is simply to use it for Taco Nite – which we have once a week. Ola.

Hey Vicky,
I love avocadoes. They are one of my favourite foods.
By the way they are a fruit not a veggie.
Try making avocado salad. Slice avocadoes, and red onions, add in some olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice. Let marinate for an hour and eat as is or on toast. Delicious!
Congratulations on completing the 10k race.
