Mad about avocadoes

One of my favorite treats. A colleague saw me sipping one during break time. ‘What is that?’ Avocado, with milk and chocolate. Everybody went, ‘Whattt???? Avocado milkshake???? How could you drink that??’

Hey, it's not bad at all. Ok, ok, so it doesn’t look pretty. But it tastes great, really. I convinced one of them to make some at home and try it ((((:

A Japanese friend spread avocado (like butter) on a piece of bread and sprinkled some sushi soy sauce on it. I did the same at home, and my folk thought it was crazy. But they're used to seeing me trying out alien food combination. (I think I've passed that on to one of my nephews. He likes cookies with his rice dish.)

If you read this, feel free to experiment. Let me know if you like either one, or both, or neither.



Avocado Milkshake

1 ripe avocado
1 glass of cold milk
1 tablespoon Milo OR
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
sugar

Put all ingredients into the blender and turn the blender on for half a minute. Pour into two glasses. Serve with vanilla ice cream on top (optional).

Maybe it's even worse if you ask them to squish the avocado instead of blendering it.....
