Notes
- For a spooky Halloween twist, top with whipped cream, edible eyes, or purple sprinkles to delight kids and guests.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute vanilla Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach to sneak in some greens; it won’t affect the smoothie’s rich purple color or taste.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it to your desired consistency.
