Okay, after the who and why, now take a look at what I did with my purchases from Freshcart. :)
Figs forever!
Top left: I love to top my plain, sugar-less oatmeal with assorted dried fruits. In this case, dried blueberries (from iHerb), dried cranberries (from Freshcart), dried fig (from Freshcart), and pitted dates (from my mom-in-law).
Bottom left: My toddler loves these: Dried cranberries, dried fig, fresh blueberries (all from Freshcart).
Top right: My breakfast platter one fine morning a few months ago. You can see fresh figs (from Freshcart), huge pisang berangan (from Freshcart), and dried mission figs (from local grocer).
Bottom right: This picture-perfect breakfast bowl is just so pretty. You can see Greek yogurt (from local grocer) topped with caramelized figs (from Freshcart) with butter and pure maple syrup, and Alpha bits cereal (from local grocer).
Breakfast ideas (with recipes!)
Top left: Avocado & Tomatoes Scrambled Eggs
Yes, you can add avocado into your scramble eggs. They are delicious! Melt some butter, stir fry garlic, tomatoes (preferably halved cherry tomatoes), and eggs. When the eggs are almost cooked, add in a pinch of salt and avocado (cut into cubes). Stir for about a minute and dish it up. Top with Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Voila!

Bottom left: Avocado & Baby Peas Mashed Potatoes
Cut 5-6 small potatoes (I use Aussie chat potatoes) into chunks. Put them into a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. While the potatoes are cooking, blanch the baby peas (I use Watties frozen baby peas) in another pot of boiling water. Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain and mash with half of an avocado, some milk, and the baby peas. Tada!
A note about buying avocados: To be honest, I hate choosing and buying avocados on my own. They usually turn out to be too unripe or too ripe or I got cheated by the fruit sellers. Duh. So, when Freshcart is selling Hass avocados, I trust them in doing the choosing part for me. True enough, the avocados they choose are always perfect and ready for next-day's consumption. My money is well-spent! Yay!

Top right: Power Breakfast Oatmeal Bowl
Cook steelcut or rolled oats in a pot of boiling water. Once cooked, stir in some milk of your choice (I love dairy). Top with your favorite toppings. For my bowl, I use mini tangerines, mixed fruits & nuts, and fresh blueberries. Yummy!

1 ripe avocado, cut into chunks
1 handful fresh blueberries, frozen & don't thaw

Put all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it out until you get the consistency that you like. If you like your smoothie to be sweeter, you can add 1 tablespoon of honey.
