I put together this fun Monster Mash recipe because we had a surprise snow day, it was Halloween, and I was craving something spooky and sweet.
- I was bored (we had a totally random snow day)
- It was Halloween
- I wanted something gooey and green — monster goo!
When I first served this to my mom she liked it. Here’s the little story I told her:
I went into the backyard and imagined finding a giant multi-eyed monster. With my trusty sword and my imaginary friend Dragonpuff™, we transformed the monster into a ghoulish, slimy, surprisingly tasty pulp. This drink is very sweet and quite pulpy, so if you don’t like pulp in your orange juice, this might not be for you.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup V-8 Fusion Pomegranate Blueberry (or another unsweetened fruit-and-vegetable blend with a similar color)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- Frozen raspberries (these are the “monster brains”)
Instructions
- Pour the juice, applesauce, and as many frozen raspberries as you like into a cup.
- Stir until the applesauce and juice are well combined and slightly pulpy.
- Serve in a spooky cup if you want to make it extra festive.
This is a quick, kid-friendly beverage with low added sugar and a fun Halloween vibe. It makes about 1 cup and takes roughly five minutes to prepare.
Enjoy Ben’s Monster Mash — happy Halloween!
