Halloween Breakfast Ideas (Green Zombie Smoothie)
Frozen bananas give this Halloween smoothie a creamy, naturally sweet base, though you can make this with a fresh banana as long as the other fruit is frozen. Give this protein-packed breakfast a funny, seasonal name as you like!

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 1/4 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.
