Candy Corn Smoothie
Whether you love it or run screaming from it, the candy corn is a potent symbol of Halloween.
But there are plenty of healthier ways to celebrate this spooky holiday than loading up on candy.
This year, how about whipping up a festive Candy Corn Shakeology Smoothie instead?
It’s like a costume for your smoothie!
The three layers get their colors from wholesome ingredients such as carrot juice, pineapple, and turmeric, which taste surprisingly good when mixed with Vanilla Shakeology and coconut milk.
The novelty of this multi-layered shake does require a bit of extra effort and freezer time. If Halloween is your favorite holiday, then you’ll agree that every step is worth it.
Pro tip: If you want to skip straight to the enjoyment part, you can blend all of the ingredients together at once!
