Reasons to Love these Halloween Smoothies

• EASY: Very little effort is needed to make these spooky (yet cute) smoothies. Simply draw a face on a the jar and pour in the correct coloured smoothie.

• HEALTHIER HALLOWEEN: Because it is good to throw in some healthy options and show that heathy can be fun too

The main goal of each smoothie was for it to be the desired colour - A deep green for Frankenstine, a bright orange for the Jack O'Lantern, white for the Ghost and a deep blood red for the Blood Shot Eye.

Bloodshot Eye Smoothie

Beetroot gives this bloodshot eye smoothie its vibrant colour. It does add an earthy flavour, that may be off-putting for some kids. If you think this could be the case then try replacing it with extra raspberries, strawberries and cherries.

No liquid is added to this smoothie, if you want to thin it down, try adding a little water or orange juice. Avoid milk as it will lighten the colour.

To finish the smoothie, add some bloodshot eyes.

Slice a banana into rounds and, using a sharp knife, scrape a tiny amount of the banana away from the centre. Add some of the smoothie and place a small blueberry in the hole. Spread the smoothie out to represent bloodshot eyes.

Frankestein Smoothie

Spinach gives this Frankenstein smoothie its fantastic green colour. You can use your favourite green smoothie recipe or make this tasty one, made from spinach, frozen mango, frozen banana, milk and vanilla.

Using frozen fruit is optional but it does make the smoothie deliciously creamy and I find when I blend spinach with the frozen banana that I can add so much more without it dominating the taste.

If your kids are new to green smoothies then you may wish to add the spinach a little at a time and taste the mixture. You will know your kids’ pallet best. You may need to start with a smaller amount of spinach and slowly increase the amount each time you make it.

Blueberries are used to top the smoothie, to represent Frankenstein's hair (although my youngest thought it was supposed to be his brains!)

Pumpkin Smoothie

No pumpkin is actually used to make this pumpkin smoothie, however in hindsight that may have been a good idea! If you would rather your smoothie looked and tasted of pumpkin then you could try this Pumkin Pie Smoothie recipe, which sounds delicious.

Not keen on pumpkin? Then this mango and orange smoothie is creamy, sweet and has a subtle orange colour. Use frozen fruit for a creamy texture. Use dairy or plant-based milk.

Ghost Smoothie

The ingredients you can use for this Ghost smoothie is limited due to having to keep it a white colour! This is really just a banana milkshake. Use your favourite milk and the yoghurt is optional, you can replace it with a little extra milk.

You can, of course, just serve milk in the jar.
