Green Smoothie: The Bloody Chamber

I've named this one in honour of Angela Carter.
All amounts are approximate.

- about 6 leaves of kale, thicker stems removed, and leaves broken into pieces
- 1/3 cup frozen cranberries
- 4 dates
- 1/2 large beet, peeled and cut in small chunks
- 1/2 banana
- 1/4 avocado
- 1.5 cups water

Blend, moving from low to high setting on blender until smoothie is very smooth and it will also be very red! Next time I think I'll put a full beet. I was worried it would taste too beety, but I could barely taste it.
