Halloween Breakfast FAQs

Can I make Halloween breakfasts ahead of time?

Yes! Many recipes here can be made the day before. On the morning of Halloween, just add festive toppings or serve them in themed plates and cups.

What are some no-cook Halloween breakfast ideas?

Try the Halloween Toast or Green Smoothie.

How do I get picky eaters excited for Halloween breakfast?

Make breakfast interactive—let kids decorate their own toast with Halloween toppings. Offering choices and involving them in the fun makes it more likely they’ll try new foods.

Best Tips for Success

  • Check each recipe for the storage info.
  • Adjust for allergies as needed by swapping in nondairy milk and yogurt and using egg replacers if needed.
  • If you need a vegan pancake, try my Fluffy Pancakes without Eggs. Or try my Vegan Waffles.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk (or other favorite milk)
  • 1 cup frozen banana slices
  • ½ cup frozen mango (or pineapple)
  • 1 cup loosely packed baby spinach (or kale)
  • 2 tablespoons Protein Powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter, optional)

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into blender and blend on high for 1 minute or until all the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen mango cubes instead of banana if needed for an allergy or preference.
  • Use any milk you like, though I find that nondairy plant milks lend the best consistency to smoothies.
  • Use spinach or kale and consider freezing the spinach to cut down on the “green” flavor.
  • Add 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon nut or seed butter, or ¼ cup Greek yogurt for extra healthy fats and protein.
  • Blend really, really well.
  • Serve in a small open cup, a straw cup, or a reusable pouch.
  • Freeze into popsicle molds if you have leftovers or want a fun option.
