AVOCADO, BANANA AND BERRY SMOOTHIE

half a ripe avocado
1 to 1 1/2 frozen bananas
4 to 5 frozen or fresh strawberries
Sprinkle nonfat soy or other nut milk

pinch of allspice
Anything else you fancy… Nuts, fruits, spices, etc. Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until desired texture is achieved.
I prefer it smooth, but some like a chewy drink. Very, very delicious! Serve: 1.
