Avocado Milk Shake – Baby travel list!!

 

 

 

Hello everybody!! We went traveling last week and therefore I had absolutely no time for anything! This was the first time I am doing 5 days traveling with my baby and I was really worried. But as it turns out, when you have a great husband and wonderful friends, travelling with a baby is a dream!!But while I am on the subject of travelling with a 1 year old I should tell you there are certain things you need to be prepared for and you have to pack before you leave.

So incase you were looking for a list of things to pack when traveling with a baby, here is my list. I hope you find it help full

Food, feeding and milk

1. Formula /Milk Powder
2. Powdered dry food / I used Cerelac
3. Fruits – bananas 2
4. A bowl
5. A spoon
6. Feeding bottles filled with water 100ml
7. Biscuits ( if allowed)
8. Bibs – 5
9. Diapers – I keep 10 in hand and buy the rest near the hotel 😛
10. If you are breast feeding you definitely want to get a cover or a cloth to cover your self up

Clothes –

1. I carry exactly 3 times the number of days we are staying any where. So 3 days would mean 3 x 3 = 9 pairs of clothes. Now you can never have enough clothes when you deal with babies. So use this one as the minimum
2. Socks
3. Jackets
4. Caps
5. Shoes
6. Towels ( I do not use hotel towels for my baby NOOOO!!)
7. Wash clothes
8. Napkins – 1 for each day

Meds and other stuff

1. One cough, cold med
2. One allergy med
3. One mosquito repellant (patch and cream)
4. Health Supplements (if any)
5. Sunscreen lotion
6. Moisturiser
7. A good diaper rash cream
8. Lots of wipes
9. Toys! I carry atlas 4 of them ( give him one at a time so he does not get bored of it)
10. Any
11. Hand Santizer
12. Toilet Paper  ( that just to hold doors if I have to use a public rest room or clean a diaper changing station)

Ok so I think I have covered everything, If i remember any thing more, I will come back and add to this list!

Now onto my avocado Milkshake.

Ingredients :-

1. Avocado – 1 Large (ripe, deseeded and pulp scooped out of the skin)
2. Milk – 1.2 lt. (little more if you do not like it thick)
3. Sugar – 2 tbsp ( you could use honey according to your taste)

Instructions :-

1. In a bowl of your blender, add the avocado pulp and milk
2. Blend on medium for 2 – 3 mins till nice and smooth
3. Then add sugar to the mixture. Blend for another min. Taste occasionally to adjust sweetness.
4. If you like it a little more runny, go ahead and add more milk
5. Blend for another min
6. Finally pour into glasses and serve right away

Notes:-

• I usually use cold milk, it make the shake nice and creamy. But you can do it will milk that is at room temp also
• Honey does change the taste of the milk shake, so sugar keeps the taste of the avocado intact
• Do not keep it for long, I had to throw out a shake I made in the morning, by evening
