This creamy green smoothie gets a monster makeover with avocado, banana, and spinach (hidden in the green color). Drip melted chocolate around the jar rims and add blueberry eyes and brain topping for a Halloween treat that's healthy and delicious.

Directions

Combine the avocados, orange juice, lemon juice, frozen banana chunks, vanilla extract (if using), almond milk, and hemp seeds in a blender or food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth. If you'd like a thinner smoothie, add a splash more almond milk.

Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Carefully drizzle it around the inside rim of your serving jars to create a dripping effect, similar to the photo.

Press two small dots of melted chocolate onto the jar for the monster's eyes, then stick a couple of blueberries onto those dots to hold them in place.

Place the decorated jars in the refrigerator for a few minutes to let the chocolate set.

Pour the smoothie into the chilled jars, add a handful of blueberries on top to resemble brains, and serve with a reusable straw.
