Avocado

I’m a big big fan of Avocado. It’s a great addition to anything from salad and pasta to burritos or sushi. Avocados are also known as alligator pears because of the texture on the outside and the shape similar to pears. It’s pretty well known that avocados are full of nutrition. Well, according to Wikipedia,

·         About 75% of an avocado’s calories come from fat, most of which is momounsaturated fat.

·         Avocados have 60% more potassium than bananas.

·         Avocados are rich in Vitamin Bs, as well as Vitamin Es and Vitamin Ks.

·         Avocados have high fiber content among fruits

Avocado is good for the heart because eating avocado regularly can lower the blood cholesterol level. It’s also a popular diet food. Avocado has a smooth and creamy texture and drinking a glass of avocado juice makes you feel full and you’ll eat less of other unhealthy food. You do need to watch out and limit yourself to no more than one avocado (fresh or juiced), however, because too much of anything can’t be good.

Avocado makes a good company to all kinds of food, from savory to sweet. Avocados can add sweet, creamy taste to burgers, hotdogs, sushi, or even pizza. You can also add avocado juice, avocado puree or avocado slices to sweets like milkshake, ice cream or pudding.

I’d like to share my favorite avocado milkshake recipe. It’s easy to make, healthy and delicious.

Take one avocado, cut it in half and remove the pit. Spoon the inside into a blender, add a cup of milk and half cup of plain yogurt (You can add cream instead if you want it to be sweeter). Blend together and add chocolate syrup. Serve cold.
