I know, it sounds pretty gross. It’s totally understandable cuz, as far I as know,  Americans only put avocados in sushi rolls, stir fry or other “real meals”. Well, to a Taiwanese, it is totally the opposite. When I hear the word “avocado,” I can only associate it with “the dessert.” Only “the”dessert, that is, the avocado milk (NOTHING ELSE.) 

I always say that I wanna make avocado milk, but nobody seems to welcome this fresh green idea. Finally, last Friday, I snagged some avocados in the kitchen and made avocado milk for my boyfriend and my roommate, and got surprisingly positive comments. THEY LOVE IT! Quoting from my boyfriend, “The shit is awesome!” My roommate even wanna bring the recipe to his sister. So, here’s the modern Taiwanese recipe (it’s not ancient Chinese secret!)

• Ingredients:
  1) A regular avocado (we don’t need anything flashy here)
  2) Enough milk (I have no idea about cup, spoon or table spoon…)
  3) Raw honey (I think regular honey works fine as well) 
   
• Steps:
  1) Cut the avocado, and remove its seed 
  2) Use a spoon to take the avocado out of its shell
  3) Put the avocado in a blender, and add milk until the avocado is totally covered by milk
  4) Add some raw honey (I add 1.5 spoon) 
  5) Add some ice cube if you like it to be really cold 
  6) Blend it! 
   

 
There you go! Avocado milk with toasted bread is definitely one of the best combinations for breakfast. As you may know, avocado is the most nutritious fruit. A 2013 report shows that American avocado consumers have better overall diet quality, nutrient levels, and reduced risk of metabolic syndrome. So, why not try the Taiwanese way? It’s so healthy, so tasty, and sooooooo easy!
