👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Add Ingredients to Blender

Choose either green or purple recipe version.
Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender.

💡 Tip: Start with less sweetener and taste-test before blending more.

Step 2: Blend Smooth

Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
If too thick, add a little more almond/coconut milk.
If too thin, add a few ice cubes or more avocado.

Step 3: Serve with Style

Pour into spooky glass jars, mini cauldrons, or potion bottles.
Top with whipped coconut cream, swirl in food coloring, or sprinkle chia “specks” for a magical texture.

Optional Effect – Dry Ice

If you’re entertaining guests, place a small chunk of dry ice into a serving bowl (not directly in the smoothie) and set your glass inside it to create a bubbling effect.

⚠️ Never consume dry ice directly. Use only for display/smoke effect!
