A clear glass mug with a handle holds a two-layer green drink. The bottom layer is a bright green liquid while the top layer is a lighter, frothy green foam with a smooth texture. The mug has a simple black face drawn on it showing tired eyes and a wavy mouth. A black and white striped straw sticks out from the top right of the mug. The mug sits on a small rectangular board that is half wood and half white marble, placed on a white marbled surface with a soft white cloth blurred in the background.

Ingredients You’ll Need

When I first tried this Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe, I realized that you really only need a handful of items that you probably already have around, making it perfect for last-minute spooky fun. The base of the smoothie is completely up to you, so select fruits, veggies, or protein boosts that you love or want to sneak in for your family.

Glass jar or cup: Choose a clear glass so your monster’s smoothie “face” really pops and you can see the colors inside.
Black sharpie or white paint marker: Use a permanent marker to draw your monster face — I personally find the paint marker lasts longer and washes off more easily.
Your favorite smoothie: Any smoothie goes here! My go-to is a creamy banana-spinach blend, but you can use fruit-only, protein-packed, or even spooky-colored smoothies like berry or pumpkin.

Note: You’ll find the complete list of ingredients, along with their exact measurements, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Variations

This Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe invites so much room to play and personalize. I love switching up the smoothie base depending on what everyone’s craving or what we have on hand — plus changing the monster faces keeps the fun alive every time.

Green Monster: I sometimes add spirulina or matcha to get a bright green smoothie that screams “monster vibes”—kids don’t even notice the veggies!
Spooky Purple: Using blueberries and blackberries, the smoothie has this moody purple shade that’s perfect for Halloween ambiance.
Dairy-Free Version: Swap in almond milk or coconut yogurt for a smooth dairy-free treat that’s just as tasty.
Silly vs Scary: Sometimes my kids like making goofy faces, other times legit spooky ones—themed music in the background always helps get creative juices flowing.

How to Make Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe

Step 1: Grab Your Supplies and Glass

First things first, get yourself a clear glass jar or cup. I love using old mason jars because they’re sturdy and look super cute with my monster faces. Grab your black sharpie or a white paint marker depending on the color of your smoothie — I find a white paint marker looks incredible on darker smoothies!

Step 2: Draw Your Monster Face

Here’s the fun part: use your marker to doodle a funny, spooky, or silly monster face right onto the glass. Don’t worry about being perfect — the more unique and quirky, the better. I discovered that letting the kids draw their own faces really amps up excitement when they get to drink it afterward.

Step 3: Pour in Your Favorite Smoothie

Once your monster face is ready, fill the glass with your pre-made smoothie of choice. It’s satisfying to see the face come to life as the color fills the jar. My personal favorite is a banana, spinach, and apple smoothie — it’s healthy, smooth, and sweet enough for everyone to enjoy.

Step 4: Wash Up and Get Ready for the Next Round

After you finish your spooky smoothie, don’t stress about the face on the glass — I learned early on that washing with bubbly soapy water usually takes the marker right off. If you see any leftover spots, just a quick rub with rubbing alcohol clears it perfectly. This makes cleanup a breeze and means you can reuse your monster jars again and again.

Pro Tips for Making Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe

Use the Right Marker: Paint markers tend to wash off easier and won’t stain your glass long-term.
Prep Smoothie First: Blend your smoothie before drawing the face to avoid smudging your artwork.
Keep It Simple: Fun faces with big eyes and quirky smiles have the biggest impact and are easiest for little hands to draw.
Test Your Marker Spot: Try your marker on a small corner of the glass before drawing the whole face to make sure it washes off well.

How to Serve Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe

Two clear glass jars filled with a thick light green smoothie are placed side by side on a black napkin with large white polka dots, which is set on a white marbled surface. Each jar has a black and white striped paper straw inserted, and both jars have small cartoonish faces drawn on them, with simple black lines showing eyes and mouths combined with small marks that look like stitches, giving the faces an expressive, slightly grumpy look. In the background, there is a soft focus white brick wall and a folded cloth with black and white stripes. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Garnishes

I usually add fun garnishes like a slice of fruit poking out as “monster teeth” or a little umbrella to give extra character. Sometimes edible eyes or colorful sprinkles on top really sell the monster vibe — plus they add a bit of texture for the kids.

Side Dishes

For a full spooky snack, I pair these smoothies with mini pumpkin muffins or some crispy veggie sticks with a dip. It’s a great balance of sweet and savory that keeps everyone happy and energized.

Creative Ways to Present

Throwing a Halloween party? Line all the monster smoothies on a tray with cobweb decorations and flickering candles for maximum creep-factor. Or place “creature labels” with names like “Ginny the Ghoul” to make each drink feel extra special and personalized.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftover smoothie (which is rare in my house!), pour it into an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir or shake before serving again, since some separation might occur.

Freezing

I’ve frozen leftover smoothies in popsicle molds for an extra fun treat later on. Just remember that freezing can change the texture, so it’s better to enjoy freshly made monster smoothies for the best experience.

Reheating

Since smoothies are best served cold, I usually don’t reheat them. If you’re using ingredients like cooked pumpkin or sweet potato in your smoothie, you can warm those components before blending, but for this Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe, cold is key!

FAQs

Can I use any kind of marker to draw the monster faces?

While you can experiment, I recommend using a black sharpie or, even better, a white paint marker for darker smoothies. These tend to show up well and wash off easily afterward without staining your glass.
What are some good smoothie flavors for this recipe?

Anything you like! Popular flavors include banana-spinach for a green monster, berry blends for a spooky purple monster, or pumpkin pie-style smoothies for that perfect autumnal vibe.
How do I clean the glass after using the marker?

I usually wash the glass with warm, soapy water immediately after drinking. If some marker still lingers, a quick swipe with rubbing alcohol does the trick and restores your jar for reuse.
Can kids safely participate in drawing the faces?

Absolutely! Just be sure to supervise and choose non-toxic or food-safe markers if possible. Drawing can be half the fun of these spooky smoothies.

Final Thoughts

This Halloween Monster Face Smoothies Recipe has become one of those simple joys I look forward to making every fall. It’s ridiculously easy, brings everyone together, and makes healthy smoothies something the whole family gets excited about. Give it a whirl, get artsy with your monster faces, and watch how much more enjoyable smoothie time becomes — trust me, they’re monster hits every single time!
