Notes
*I'm kind of lazy when it comes to beets and most stores around me sell precooked, peeled, organic beets (perfect for smoothies).
*Annelies also recommends freezing the cranberry juice into ice cubes- I, however, didn't read this until I was most of the way through making the smoothie and went with just the cranberry juice (and works well!)
