The avocado

I was grocery-shopping with my mom one day when we came across Haas avocados. We have never bought avocados before and hence did not know how to pick ripen ones - I had to google it. Apparently, the nice firm green ones are not ripe; ripen ones are of a dark-purplish color to an almost black hue - perfect for our avocado milkshake.

Avocados are known to provide health and beauty benefits, from being a naturally nutrient dense fruit to being part of a hair and beauty regimen. They have high vitamin content and each of the vitamins are important in their own ways i.e. for blood clotting, for healthy eyes, skin and hair, as antioxidants, as antibodies. However, those were not the reason I got them. Who needs a reason to have a good milkshake? :D

We had avocados left over which could be made into another jug of milkshake. Or some sweets.

These chocolate macarons with avocado fillings were made from a new silicon mat and piping tips my mom got me as a gift. <3 Thank you, I love it.

Mom and Dad and my trusty taster gave the thumbs up. I like the avocado filling. It's not at all hard to make, just have to replace the milk in the milk shake with icing sugar. Kinda like trial and error actually, but it turned out pretty well anyway. (:
