    Halloween Harvest Smoothies

    October 6, 2014 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    September 2nd rolls around and the fall decorations go up. That's not because I'm ready for fall (I LOVE summer) but it's because my palate starts to crave fall food. Pumpkin, apple, peach, squash--all some of my favorite fall foods.

    This year, I'll have you craving something even more. Harvest smoothies. That's right. Smoothies seem to take a bit of a back seat when harvest time rolls around and the weather begins to cool, but the won't now!

    We've got delicious peach pie smoothie, pumpkin pie smoothie, white smoothie, and a traditional green smoothie packaged into fun phrases like the "Ghost Blood" drink and "The Zombie Slayer" smoothie. Kids like that. They're easily influenced by advertising. So are we adults. I'll admit it. I want to drink more with a fun name like that.

    Grab your mason jars, some black construction paper and some tape because we're bringing the fun back into smoothie time. See? Even the littlest ones will have a hard time waiting.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
