Avocado Banana Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 Avocado
1 Banana
1 Pear or Apple
1 mug milk (I use soy/almond/hazelnut milk... Normal skimmed milk is fine too)

Mix all ingredients in a blender. I do not remove the skin from Apple or pear. Bring to a nice smooth thick consistency (add a little water if too thick) and serve immediately.
