Mixing All Good Things Together


Happy Labour Day dude! Hope y'all have a wonderful and productive holiday as ever. Yeah, I know.... it's MONDAY again for some people. But for me it's another brand new start for the week. I wish my optimism can last till the next Monday... :D It has been a wonderful holiday (3 days including Sat and Sun) for me and my hubby.

We have been looking high and low for my baking tools and ingredients coz there's a lot of SALE going on right now... It's better to buy now then when there's no SALE. I "sometimes" love SALE... must be wondering why only "sometimes"??? Well, that's because as ALWAYS things that I wanted to buy during sale time is out of stock!!! >:( But this weekend, I found just the perfect blender (my old one the Philips has broken down) at a sale!!!!! :D The price is perfect not more than I expected and it was the material I was looking for! :) It's from Electrolux! If not mistaken it's a Germany brand. Hopefully this will be more durable than the Philips. Fingers crossed! ;-)

Today is indeed a glorious day... and I decided to use my brand new blender to make avocado fruit juice for my hubby and I as breakfast. The nutrition content of a medium size avocado are:

Vitamin C - 20.2 mg
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) - .2 mg
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) - .3 mg
Niacin - 3.9 mgFolate - 205 mg
Pantothenic Acid - 3.3 mg
Vitamin B6 - .6 mg
*Contains some other vitamins in small amounts.

MINERALS: (one medium)
Potassium - 1166 mg
Phosphorus - 124 mg
Magnesium - 67 mg
Calcium - 30 mg
Sodium - 18 mgIron - 1.4 mg
*Also contains small amounts of selenium, manganese, copper and zinc.

My receipie to make your own avocado juice as below. Please follow the 3 very simple steps below.

The ingredients to make avocado fruit juice are (for 2 person):
- 1 avocado (peel off the skin and de-seed)
- 12 red grapes (de-seed but leave the skin on)
- 1 cup of water
- 3 tablespoon of organic honey

3 easy steps:
1. Slice the avocado into cubes.
2. Put the sliced avocado into the blender together with the grapes. Add in the water.
3. Blend all those together till they are liquify. Finally add in the honey and blend again for 3 second. Pour into cups / glasses.
4. Enjoy!

Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do. :) Have a nice day!
