Greens Plus Smoothie (Vita-Mix)

Submitted by RDcook444

"After only a week with my Vita-Mix blender, I am becoming quite adventurous with what I put into my green breakfast smoothie. If sweet fruit can cover up the bitterness of kale and cabbage, why not throw a few other veggies in too? This is a great way to use up leftover raw or steamed vegetables from other recipes."
