Green Smoothie - "Purple Leaves"

~5 oz frozen blueberries
2 lacinato kale leaves, ribs removed*
2 large handfuls baby spinach
1 handful of purple/red leaves from packaged spring mix
1 stalk celery
Water

*I didn't need to remove the ribs but didn't know it at the time

I love how purple this one turned out! The combo of purple leaves and blueberries overpowered the green colors. However, the greens overpowered the taste. I now know that blueberries are not sweet/strong tasting enough to be the lone fruit. I should have added mango or watermelon if I wanted more sweetness without a strong fruit flavor or added pineapple for strong flavor and sweetness.
