Start your day with something nutritious. This is real easy recipe. A very popular drink in Philippines & Indonesia.
Yes, avocados are relatively high in fat and calories (138 calories and 14.1g fat in half a medium-sized avocado). But they’re also one of the best foods you can eat, packed with nutrients and heart-healthy compounds. Here are five great reasons to eat them regularly.
- Avocados are a great source of lutein, a carotenoid that works as an antioxidant and helps protect against eye disease
- Half an avocado contains 3.4 grams of fibre, including soluble and insoluble, both of which your body needs to keep the digestive system running smoothly.
- Avocados can help stabilize blood sugar
- Avocados can protect your unborn baby—and your heart. One cup of avocado provides almost a quarter of your recommended daily intake of folate, a vitamin which cuts the risk of birth defects. If you’re pregnant—or planning to be—avocados will help protect your unborn baby.
- As well as increasing feelings of fullness, the oleic acid in avocados can help reduce cholesterol levels.
A glass of thick, sweet & creamy avocado milk smoothie is very filling & can last you for hours. Try adding a couple avocados to your diet each week and enjoy the benefits of this delicious and health promoting food.
You can add any milk of your choice, though I prefer Goodday brand instead of Marigold HL Brand. HL Milk has a stronger vanilla taste and take away the avocado flavor.
Ingredients: (2 cups)
1/2 pcs Ripe Avocado
300ml Fresh Milk (cold) - I'm using
1 tbsp Condensed Milk
4pcs Ice Cubes
Step by Step:
1. Cut avocado into halves. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon. If you want a greener smoothie, remember to scrape the green flesh near the avocado skin. Cut them into smaller cubes.
2. Put everything into a blender & blend till smooth.
3. Pour into glass & serve right away.
Have a great day..
