I love Halloween.
Haunted Houses, carving pumpkins, Creepy Carrot Cakes…
I have freakishly-strong nails that grow like weeds, so one year I painted them to look like candy corns. They looked so awesome! (Of course, just one day after all my hard work, my pinkie nail decided to break. Eh, what can ya do?) This year, I opted for an easier decoration: a candy-corn milkshake. The recipe is just your average banana milkshake. But it looks super-fun and festive:
The Candy Corn Milkshake
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 extremely ripe, frozen banana
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- a few drops red and yellow food coloring OR a pinch turmeric for the yellow
- optional: If going the all-natural route, make up a second smoothie: 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, and sweetener to taste. Use this for the orange portion.
Blend all ingredients except food coloring. Divide equally among three glasses (or two glasses if you want to just use whipped topping as your white layer). Put a few drops yellow food coloring in one glass, and red and yellow in the other (to make orange). Then pour the glasses into one large glass and drink up!
Feel free to top your shake with: Healthy Cool Whip.
Show off your candy-corn milk mustache!
Question of the Day:Â Do you get into Halloween?
I always go all out for Halloween, as proven by these Halloween Cupcakes.
The whipped top looks like a witch’s hat too – even more Hallowe’en-y 🙂
I nearly spit out the water i was taking a sip of in my excitement when this post loaded. I love candy corn(thought have to search to find it gelatin-free)and I love shakes! Yummy. I’d make this and garnish with the candy I think. Banana and candy corn could taste good together…I hope:)
I love candy corn. It’s the only non chocolate candy I enjoy.
cute idea. AMAZING color and still healthy, win win. 🙂
That shake looks a-mazing!
I love the photos on this post; they’re really great. I’m *secretly* envious! ^^
I love the looks of your shake. The pictures are soooo pretty, Katie! That first one is magazine worthy! Seriously so pretty. I can’t remember what lens you said you shoot with but whatever it is, I want it!
Glad to hear things are okay in your world…I was thinking about you all day hoping you were fine 🙂
This is awesome!!! Looks sooo yummy 😀
To be honest, I totally hate candy corn…but I bet I would really like this milkshake:) Love it!
Candy corn is definitely a favorite in my heart <3
I've eaten maybe a half a bag in one sitting before. How could you not love hardened sugar!
We never decorate or anything for Halloween because my mom thinks it's a pagan holiday. We still always went trick-or-treating, though 🙂
I love halloween 🙂 It is my favorite holiday 🙂
