Avocado smoothie with Gula Malacca!

This is not the most healthiest treat with Gula malacca but it is definitely the most aromatic and addictive version of the avocado smoothie! In the past, it would be a pain to do this as you have to heat and melt the Gula Malacca and wait till it dissolves and add water then when u thought u are done, you are left with a sticky pot and a sticky container.
That day is history my friend cos I have found the amazing SingLong brand squeezable and ready to use Gula Malacca syrup! It's is cooked with pandan leaves and water hence the taste is not too sweet and you can use it for various desserts! I found it in NTUC at $2.80.
Ok so back to the smoothie making, make sure you buy brown avocados that are still firm to touch. These type of avocados will be pretty and buttery.

Ingredients:
Group A:
1/2 cup Fresh milk
1 Ripe and firm avocado, with stone and skin removed
1/2 Tablespoon SingLong Gula Malacca syrup

Group B:
Ice

Just blend everything together
The above ratio can be adjusted to personal liking.
If Too thick, add more milk
If too sweet, add more ice
If too tasteless, add more Gula malacca syrup

Enjoy!
