Halloween Fun - Jack-O'-Lantern Smoothies

Today I have another fun Halloween drink idea to share; easy jack-o'-lantern smoothies! I can't really claim to call this a recipe as I used a ready-to-go frozen smoothie mix for it, but I think the serving idea is fun, so worth sharing!

This recipe makes a really thick smoothie, so if you find it too thick, you can add a little more water until you get the consistency you prefer. I like to serve up thick smoothies to the children though, they can then eat it with a spoon which I've found helps to avoid brain freeze!

I used a smoothie mix from Iceland for this recipe - you can find it here: Pineapple, Papaya & Carrot Smoothie Mix. I also used the same smoothie mix in our traffic light smoothie pops earlier this year.

Jack-O'-Lantern Smoothies

Ingredients (makes 2):

• 2x 150g bags Pineapple, Papaya & Carrot Smoothie Mix
• 200ml orange juice
• 100ml cold water

To decorate:

• clear plastic cups or glasses
• black marker pen (I used a sharpie)
• green straws

Method:

Start by preparing your cups. With a black marker pen, draw a jack o' lantern face on each cup. Check the length of the straws against the cup and cut them down a little if needed.

Measure out the orange juice and pour into a blender.

Add the smoothie mix and blend until smooth.

Spoon or pour into the prepared glasses.

Top with a straw, placed in the middle of the cup like a stalk.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
