The Daily Juicery: Halloween Smoothie Parfaits

Happy Halloween! Well, it’s not until Tuesday, but I’m already in the mood for magical food! So say hello to these halloween themed smoothie parfaits. Best to practice indulging in enchanted treats in advanced of the 31st to better prepare us, don’t ya think?

These Halloween Smoothie Parfaits are made with an orange smoothie blend of persimmon, frozen bananas, and mango. Layered on top of a chia charcoal pudding as the base. The chia charcoal pudding was made using fresh pressed juice that I bought from The Daily Juicery near chez moi. I used their Black 1.0 juice. It’s the activated charcoal in this drink which gives its vivid black hue. And although it may not look it at first glance (to most people at least), this black juice is delicious! In fact, I am drinking another glass of it as we speak. It’s pressed with apples, lemon, kiwi, basil and activated charcoal. The taste is both sweet and refreshing! And I love using it to make black chia pudding as it offers a more fruity taste vs. the classic milky chia pudding we are typically used to.

In fact, this combo of black chia pudding with creamy smoothie is…WICKED! After tasting them both the smoothie and chia separately, hubby and I think an optimal spoonful has a mix of each. A little black and orange that’s both halloween themed and delicious!  I don’t know whether were under some sort of spell, but these smoothie parfaits seemed to disappear right before our eyes.

So go ahead and trick-and-treat yourself with these boo-tiful jars.

Have a Happy Halloween!

Certainly, this black chia pudding with creamy mango smoothie is...WICKED! Black meets orange for a halloween smoothie that's healthy and sweet as can be.
