This afternoon, I invented this lovely Christmas Green Smoothy! I had leftover cranberries & fresh black kale leaves from our allotment so I needed something energizing to get me through the afternoon. Yum yum yum!

Take your beloved Vitamix & place every ingredient in this order in it. Place tamper & fitted lid on & blend on high-speed for about 10-15 seconds, by using tamper to push ingredients into the running blades. Pour into lovely smoothy glasses & enjoy with a paper straw! :) Yum! You get a kick of the black kale, the sweetness of the orange & dates & specks of yummy fresh cranberries! Yes!
