Vitamix Blender

1 cup milk (I prefer unsweetened nondairy milk in smoothies)
1 small banana
1 cup frozen mango (or pineapple)
1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
2 tablespoons granola
2 dried cranberries
4 mini marshmallows

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Add the milk, banana, mango or pineapple, and spinach to a blender. Blend, starting on low and working up to high.
Pour into a cup or bowl. Add granola for hair, cranberries for eyes, and marshmallows for teeth.

Notes

Snack Bar with Eyes: Roll cream cheese into two small balls and place on the food. Press a mini chocolate chip into each.
Halloween Pizza: Check out the easy recipe.
Mummy Crackers: Top whole grain round crackers (I like the ones in the brown box from Trader Joe's but Breton crackers work too) with shredded cheese. Add slices of black olives for eyes if desired.
Energy Bite Spiders: Make a batch of energy bites. Break mini pretzels into pieces and use as legs. Add raisin eyes.
Spinach Banana Cupcakes: Add chocolate frosting to Spinach Banana Muffins. Top with sprinkles if desired. (I separated out the orange and white ones to make it with mostly Halloween colors.)
Green lunch: Serve up an assortment of green foods for a festive Halloween treat lunch. We like to include Banana Spinach Muffins, Snap Pea Crisps, kiwi, edamame, and cucumbers.
Strawberry Ghosts: Trim the stems off of strawberries. Dip in Greek yogurt and place onto a pie plate. Add mini chocolate chip eyes. Freeze briefly and serve.
