And their answer is &#8220;I am definitely a fruit, but in some kitchen I am treated as a vegetable&#8221;. This is yet another fruit I had ignored all these years. The only dish I&#8217;ve tasted made with avocado is Guacamole, that too in restaurants. During my last grocery shopping, I invited some of these fruits to my kitchen and gave these buddies a special place in my refrigerator. Every time when I opened the refrigerator, I thought what I should make with these fruits. I was totally confused and so made them sit there for few more days.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when I felt that I am being mean to these fruits by not giving them the opportunity to be a part of my cooking, I took them out. At first, I thought I should just scoop the flesh, mash it and put some seasonings and have it as a dip. After a second thought, I felt I should put them in the blender along with milk and sugar and transform them into a milkshake. I went with my second thought.<\/p>\n<p>When I had a sip of this milkshake, I felt terribly guilty for not buying these all these years. The milkshake was extremely delicious; it had a buttery and smooth finish. I didn&#8217;t think any further and gave all the avocados a milkshake makeover.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried anything with avocados I would highly recommend this easy and quick milkshake, any one will fall for this the moment they take the first sip.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Not to forget the health benefits of Avocados:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avocado extract is good for prevention and treatment of breast cancer as well as prostate cancer.<\/li>\n<li>Avocados contain \u201coleic acid\u201d, a monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol.<\/li>\n<li>Just a slice of Avocado improves your body&#8217;s ability to absorb carotenoid.<\/li>\n<li>Avocados are powerhouse of vitamin E.<\/li>\n<li>Avocados are shown to maintain good cholesterol while reducing the bad cholesterol.<\/li>\n<li>Avocado is a good source of potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Avocado Milkshake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_5315.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1845\" title=\"Avocado Milkshake\" src=\"http:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_5315.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_5315.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_5315-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Yield: 2 glasses<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><em><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Ripe Avocado: 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Milk- 2 cups<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Sugar or honey- 2 tbsp<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><em><strong>Instruction:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Scoop out the flesh and put it in the blender.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Pour milk and put the sugar to this.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Blend it until smooth and serve in a juice glass.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><em><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Use ripe avocados for making the milkshake.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>How to buy ripe avocado<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>s<\/strong><\/em>: Avocados are relatively firm, color cannot be trusted to determine whether they are ripe or not.
