Sweet Coco-Beet Smoothie

This is a nutrient and fiber-packed smoothie with all the goodness of the strawberries, pineapples, golden beets and beet leaves. I used stevia leaves that I have been growing in my yard to give this smoothie a sweeter taste without extra calories and the beet leaves provide extra minerals and chlorophyll.
