Custard Apple & Garden Mint Smoothie

I came up with this smoothie this morning when I discovered I had 4 custard apples (from my local Asian Market) in my freezer. I thawed them over night and used them in this drink. It was very mild tasting. I used fresh mint out of my garden which was a nice touch. You can use your favourite spice in this drink, but don't use too much, it can be over powering.
