Balance out all of that Halloween junk food with this fun, tasty and healthy Halloween smoothie. We call it goblin potion around here!
Halloween is on the way and I’ve been trying to resist buying Halloween candy every time I’m down at the grocery store! As much as I love Halloween, controlling the amount of junk food that the kids {and me too!} consume is always a bit of a challenge. That candy just seems to follow us around everywhere! So I decided to come up with a healthy Halloween recipe that would still be fun and get the kids in the holiday spirit….
Goblin Potion
This goblin portion is a fun Halloween treat while still offering lots of nutritional goodness! One of the best things about smoothies is that it’s so easy to hide healthy, nutrient-rich ingredients {like chia seeds, spinach, and even frozen cauliflower!} that they might not want to eat otherwise. This one is a trick AND a treat! You can also find more healthy Halloween food ideas HERE.
Halloween Smoothie Recipe
This goblin potion Halloween smoothie is quick and easy to make and you can easily swap out an ingredient or two to customize it to your particular taste {or for what you have on hand}. You can even add extra nutrient boosters like vanilla protein powder or flax seeds. Be sure to use frozen berries instead of fresh so it thickens up the smoothie enough that you can layer it. The slightly tart purple layer tastes delicious swirled with the sweeter orange layer for the perfect Halloween mash up!
Goblin Potion Halloween Smoothie
Balance out all of that Halloween junk food with this tasty and healthy Halloween smoothie! It's a great way to sneak in some super foods while still having some Halloween fun!
Ingredients
Purple Layer
- 1 1/4 cup mixed frozen berries {I used a pre-packaged mix of blackberries raspberries, and blueberries}
- 1/2 cup vanilla Icelandic {Skyr} yogurt or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup - 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/3 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut water
- 2-4 ice cubes
Orange Layer
- 1 1/4 cup frozen peaches
- 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup coconut water if needed
Instructions
-
Combine all of the ingredients from the purple layer in a blender and blend until smooth. You want a nice thick consistency that you would eat with a spoon, but not so thick that you can't blend it smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more coconut water. If it's too thin, pop in a little more frozen fruit or ice cubes. Transfer the mixture to a large glass or other container and place in the fridge or freezer while blending the second layer.
-
Combine all of the ingredients from the orange layer and blend until smooth. If needed, add a little extra liquid {if too thick} or a little more frozen fruit {if too thin} until you achieve roughly the same consistency as the purple layer.
-
Using a clear glass cup or parfait dish, spoon in some of the purple smoothie. Add a layer of the orange smoothie on top and continue alternating layers until you've reached the top of the glass. Give it a little swirl at the top with a knife, and it's ready to serve. Eat with a spoon or let it slightly melt to drink with a straw.

To make things a little more fun, I created a Goblin Potion printable and printable straw tags to go with it. You can really use the printable for any Halloween decor or vignette, and the straw labels work great for any Halloween party drink that you create. Just click HERE to download your copies.
