The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Halloween Treats

Hi guys! I have a ‘monster’ post for you today, packed full of recipes, product and retailer links, and tips on how to have the best vegan Halloween ever! This is the Ultimate Guide to Vegan Halloween Treats!

Navigating social gatherings and holidays as a vegan (or gluten free person) can be a challenge sometimes. Halloween is definitely one of those times, especially when you have kids! As a parent, you want your kids to enjoy all of the fun things about being a kid, and you also want them to be as carefree as possible. I’m a mom of two boys, who are 13 and 6, and both have been vegan since birth. I try to make it as easy as possible for them to feel included in social situations by bringing food to gatherings that is a vegan version of what everyone else is having. (Most kids parties have pizza and cake, so I bring a vegan pizza and some vegan cupcakes, and the kids are so busy being kids, no one ever cares that my kids are eating something different – they’re just busy being kids. It’s more of a Mom thing to be concerned about this!) If it’s a potluck situation it’s a great opportunity to bring something that is familiar to non-vegans. If you do a good job of it, most people will never even notice that it is vegan or gluten free, and because so many people are either vegan curious, or know someone who is vegan, you’ll find that most are very open to trying vegan or gluten free options. When it comes to Halloween candy, there are some candies that are ‘accidentally vegan’, not necessarily healthy, but don’t contain animal products. Thankfully, there are also some great candy options from companies that make all natural, vegan treats (with many gluten free options as well!). Here is a list of vegan Halloween treats that you can make or buy to make your Halloween fun for everyone! Items that are also gluten free are marked (GF). Enjoy!

Super Amazing Green Smoothie and 365 Workouts

by Angel McNall

Happy Monday! Today’s recipe is my Super Amazing Green Smoothie! Some of you are already green smoothie experts, and I don’t have to tell you about the deliciousness involved with green smoothie drinking, or the health benefits. But others, not so much. So I’m going to talk to you , the unconverted, for a minute, because in the not so distant past, I WAS you. I am not the kind of person that will eat or drink something just because it’s ‘good for you’. It HAS to taste good, and if it’s a green drink, that goes double! Life is too short right? So how did I end up as a green smoothie convert? A couple of things… First, I have a friend, Susi, who is always juicing, and she was sending me all of these yummy photos of the rainbow of veggies that were going in her juicer. It was inspiring! Not enough to actually break out my juicer, but more in the I need a trip to Jamba Juice kinda way. So I went to Jamba Juice, and instead of ordering my usual strawberry, banana, and a scoop of peanut butter smoothie, I decided to live on the edge and try a GREEN smoothie! I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t going to like it, and that it would be a waste of money, but I decided to be VERY brave and try it anyway. To my surprise, I actually liked it! And I felt really good after drinking it too! (Not to mention, pretty darn proud of myself too!) And then I started thinking about when could I go back and get another one?! You guys, it’s GREEN and the whole thing tastes like peaches and bananas, so what’s not to love?!

And that’s how it began. So, now I have this food blog thing happening, and I’m like, am I even a real food blogger if I don’t have a green smoothie recipe on my blog? I mean, you need that to get the official Food Blogger membership card right? 😉 So why not share my favorite green smoothie recipe with you guys? So I will. But first, I have to make a little confession.
