Halloween has to be one of the sweetest times of the year… in terms of candy that is. One of the candies commonly seen around Halloween really brings me back to my childhood. Candy corn. We always had it in our house growing up and my mom still likes it, all these years later! Although I’m not known for eating handfuls of candy corn myself, I’m completely keen on the colors orange, yellow and white colors as they are classic Halloween. Which brings me to today’s smoothies, that are inspired by candy corn but much fresher and healthier.

FESTIVE FRUIT SMOOTHIES

I’ve taken the shades of yellow, orange and white commonly associated with the sweet treat, and matched it to fruits in the same colors to make healthy and fresh smoothies with much less guilt and a great way counterbalance all the sweets that will be consumed over the weekend.

In addition to these smoothies being healthy and fresh, the mini shot glasses they’re served in make them a fabulous beverage menu option for any Halloween party that you host over weekend! Complete with a tiny candy corn shaped fruit garnishes for a sweet finishing touch!
