Spooky Green Halloween Smoothie

October 28, 2021      1 Comment

Twins with spooky green smoothies

It’s the beginning of the holiday season and I’m excited to start it off with a fun Halloween-themed recipe! My girls are big smoothie lovers and drink one almost everyday. I love a good smoothie too, especially because I can fill it full of healthy ingredients (for me and them)! This festive green smoothie looks spooky but tastes deliciously sweet; it would be the perfect addition to any Halloween themed party or tablescape!

Spooky green halloween smoothies

I really hyped these green smoothies up with my girls a few days before we actually made them (preparing toddlers for activities is key). They were really excited to make a spooky green smoothie with a bloody (raspberry) drizzle on top. When they talked about making them, they used their deep voices and hands with “spooooooky” wiggling fingers to describe them – so cute! They truly love helping me in the kitchen and we have so much fun creating fun recipes.

Green smoothie ingredients

Hood® Whole Milk in the LightBlock Bottle®

I love a cold, refreshing smoothie which is why I use Hood® Whole Milk in the LightBlock Bottle®. We think their milk is always delicious and definitely refreshing. What I didn’t realize, before learning more about Hood Milk, is that milk can have off flavors from oxidation but Hood’s LightBlock Bottle prevents this! That’s why they promise that you get premium milk in every delicious drop. Learn more about Hood here!

Another benefit of adding whole milk to this smoothie is the added 8 grams of protein and 9 essential nutrients per serving! Pair that with the protein from the chia seeds and almond butter and you’ve got a pretty nutrient dense smoothie – not to mention the nutrients from the spinach.

Green Smoothie

Before you start making these green smoothies I suggest you get all of your ingredients and supplies out and ready for action – the frozen fruits thaw fairly quickly and personally I like my smoothies super cold! To mix this smoothie I use a small Ninja food processor – it’s my favorite kitchen item ever and only around $20. I know I’ve mentioned this before with other recipes, but I like to get all of the ingredients pre-measured and ready for the girls so that the process is easier for them. I like to be prepared at all times with my two little three-nagers – you never know how long they’ll stay interested in an activity.

Once you’ve got all of your ingredients ready, you will first want to add the spinach and Hood Whole Milk to the processor (or blender) – this allows the spinach to get mixed up really well. Then you’ll add the avocado to make the green really pop! After those first few items are mixed, you can add all of the other smoothie ingredients and blend it together. Pour the smoothie into a couple of glasses and you’re ready to whip up some cream!

Whipped Topping

I keep my whipped cream very minimal by using Hood Heavy Cream and a tablespoon of honey for just a touch of sweetness. Whip the cream in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer on medium high until stiff peaks form. Then add the honey and whip for an additional minute. Spoon this on top of the green smoothie base – easy peasy!

Raspberry Drizzle

Lastly it’s time for the “bloody” raspberry drizzle! Using a microwave safe bowl, heat the raspberries and tablespoon of water for about 30 seconds. Stir and mash it up and then let it cool for a few minutes. Once it’s cooled off a little, drizzle it on top of the whipped cream. I added a spooky Halloween bat wing to the top of the smoothies for an extra festive look.

Serve with a straw and enjoy!

Who is ready for Spring?! We still have snow on th Who is ready for Spring?! We still have snow on the ground but the driveway is clear!! The girls got these scooters from @microkickboard last Fall and I can’t tell you how much they love them! The moment they saw the driveway clear of snow they asked to scooter and were SO happy when I finally said yes (they had been asking for weeks).

I love that Micro Scooters are such a smooth ride and have three wheels for extra stability. The girls zoom up and down the street with them and it’s a great way to get some fresh air and exercise. I think Henry is just about ready to try his out for the first time too! Overall these are a 10/10 for us!

Our friends at Micro are also celebrating scooting weather with a Spring Sale.  Check out @microkickboard's website between March 25 - April 2 for 20% off select scooters.

One of the best features of this house is the giant finished basement playroom! It has the best natural lighting, windows facing the stream, a full bath connected and so much room to play! When we moved in I truly looked forward to all of the possibilities in here. It’s been so fun making it our own. 

We recently added this @potterybarnkids kids table and chairs for playing, crafts and setting up fun things like this Easter tablescape!

Slowly but surely we’ve been working on our prim Slowly but surely we’ve been working on our primary bedroom. When you’re a parent I feel like your room is the last priority but we finally made some progress and I really love how bright and peaceful it is. Not shown is the *other* side of the room where we have one packed closet, totes of clothing and a hip wall. Someday we plan to build a big closet in that space…someday. 😁

I added two simple + beautiful poster prints above our bed from @desenio and I feel like they fit the space much better than what we had before. I also moved my desk into our room - it fit perfectly and we needed to fill that space (and make room in the playroom). 

It’s a work in progress but so far so good!

Our menu was based off of our favorite date night spot but we saved a ton of money by cooking ourselves at home. We used Hannaford store brand products to make these three dishes:

Appetizer: Crispy Buffalo Brussels Sprouts
Entree: Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter
Dessert: Vanilla Crème Brûlée 

When I tell you these were restaurant-quality, I mean it!

Don’t let time or your budget keep you from having a fun date night. Head to your local Hannaford and do it yourself for less!

When’s the last time you had a date night with y When’s the last time you had a date night with your spouse? It’s been so long for us! We definitely struggle to carve out the time and budget for special occasions. #ad That’s where @hannafordmkts can help! I planned an at-home date night and based the menu off of our favorite, fancy restaurant. I shopped for Hannaford store brand products to make sure we stayed within our budget and we ended up saving more than $50 compared to what it would cost to go out (and that doesn’t include gas or babysitter costs). That’s more than 50% savings!

The best part of it all was the dishes we made were *spectacular*. Using Hannaford store brands saves us money but still allows us to enjoy delicious, high-quality ingredients. Keep an eye out for my next post for a close up of our delicious, restaurant-quality dishes and definitely head to your local Hannaford for your next date night menu.
