This Halloween smoothie recipe allows you to stay healthy while also celebrating the spookiest holiday of the year. From Beth at the Tasty Yummies blog, the Green Monster Smoothie is garnished to look like a cyclops similar to Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.
Using plant-based protein powers from Vega, the Halloween smoothie is ideal pre or post workout, not to mention pre or post trick or treating. The healthy smoothie contains ingredients like kale, banana and non-dairy milk. Ideal for those with dietary restrictions, the recipe also contains vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips to create the one eye. This gives the beverage a splash of sugar in the otherwise extremely healthy concoction. If you aren't vegan, you can probably use regular treats if you would rather.
