Quick & Healthy - Gula Melaka Avocado Milkshake 椰糖鳄梨奶昔

Have you tried Avocado Milkshake or smoothie? If not, you will fall in love with it. After taking Avocado shake one day, I decided to make my own. I only use 3 ingredients - avocado, gula melaka syrup and fresh milk. It is a good source of healthy fats and protein. But you can't have it everyday, just in case "fat overloaded".

According to Wikipedia, Gula Melaka is a kind of Palm sugar - a sweetener derived from any variety of palm tree. And Gula melaka is a type of palm sugar made from the sap of flower buds from the coconut palm.
In my recipe, I only use 1 and 1/2 tbsp. And according to www.myfitnesspal.com, 1 tbsp of Gula Melaka syrup is only 29 calories. As compare to 60 calories for 1 tbsp of Honey, this is definitely a healthy choice.
I bought my Gula Melaka Syrup from NTUC or Sheng Siong (see video for visual). My friend also got me 1 jar of gula melaka syrup from Malacca (see below).

你有喝过椰糖鳄梨奶昔吗？如果你去新加坡的小贩中心或是食阁的饮料摊位，应该很容易找到这个热带风味健康水果饮料。
要自己动作做其实也很容易，只要这三样材料：鳄梨、牛奶、椰糖浆。
同样来自大自然，不过椰糖浆的卡路里指数只有29，比起蜜糖的60要健康得多。
虽然是健康饮料，但不建议每天喝，因为鳄梨富含高脂肪，虽然是健康脂肪但也要适可而止。

做法： 将鳄梨、牛奶、冰块和椰糖浆放入搅拌机里搅拌成奶昔即可享用。
