We love Frankenstein on KiddyCharts, and we have loads of Frankenstein crafts for you to have fun with, but we thought we were missing something. A Halloween smoothie! And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a Frankenstein smoothie that the kids have made? *with a bit of your help*
You will need a few bits and bobs for this, but it isn’t as complicated as the finished article looks, so grab your blender, and your spooky self and get stuck in!
Ingredients
- Avocados (2), which need to be pitted and skin removed
- Orange juice (from one orange)
- Lemon juice (from one lemon)
- Chunks of frozen Banana (2)
- Vanilla extract (2tsp): this is optional
- 250ml Unsweetened almond milk
- Hemp seeds (2 tbsp)
- Blueberries: grab a handful, and finally
- 100g dark chocolate.
You do need specialist equipment for this too; a food processor, or a blender, alongside two jam jars to put your smoothie in when it’s ready.
How to make your Halloween smoothie
Make sure that you supervise the kids when you get to the bending stage, as the blades are dangerous, and we wouldn’t want any unforeseen Halloween accidents to occur.
This only has three steps, so shouldn’t take too long. Watch the kids make them, and then enjoy drinking them. The drink itself is packed with vitamins and goodness – that’s the joy of Avocado which is a superfood.
- Add all the ingredients, except the chocolate and blueberries to your blender, and blend until they are smooth. If you want a slightly thinner smoothie, add in a little extra almond milk,
- Melt the chocolate, either in the microwave, or using a bain marie. Once melted, pour it over the top of the glass jam jar to create the drip effect that you can see in the photo below. Add two dots for your eyes, and then a couple of blueberries can be stuck on to the jar as well. Pop into your fridge to get it to chill for a few minutes. You can also add the scar on the jar now if you want to as well here,
- Pour the smoothie mixture into the glasses, and top them with your brains made from blueberries! Don’t forget to serve them with a reusable straw!
Awesome – as you can see!
We always like to make sure we have a printable version of the recipe for you to use, so do print out the details using the below. This should make it easier to carry about the kitchen!
