Beet Red "Green" Smoothie

[LivingRawGirl]

My youngest son is turned off by the "green" of green smoothies, and he has a very strong aversion to bananas. So, today I made a smoothie that he likes- here's how:

1/2 avacado
2 huge handfuls spinach
1 billiard ball sized beet
handful soaked cashews
1/4 c water
blend this smooth (don't have vitamix but it was still pretty smooth)
Next add 1/2 cup frozen cherries
1 squirt agave
dash cinnamon
more water as needed

I was surprised by the color, very pleasing, and the taste was soooo nice!

We use beets all the time... They keep trying to tell me it's not a green smoothie anymore! :)

I hope you all use the beet "greens". They are so nutritious.
