This Christmas Smoothie is a nutrient and vitamin filled meal. What a great way to start the day during this hectic month. It even makes a great lunch try serving it to family and friends next Sunday afternoon!!

Cut the apple into wedges and remove the seeds. Juice the apple wedges with the cranberries and beet. Pour the combined juice into a blender or food processor and add the banana, yogurt and ice cubes. Blend until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a tall glass and serve it garnished with the mint sprig.

Note: You can make this drink as bright red as you wish by adding a little more beet.
