It’s an exciting and spooky time of the year, which calls for making fun drinks. Yes, you can have fun with juice! It’s a great way to introduce healthy drinks and juices to kids (and the big kids too). You can have loads of fun with colors and making interesting combinations for Halloween. Don’t miss this healthy combo with beet, orange, carrot and frozen cherry “eyeballs.” Double or triple the recipe and put it in a punch bowl, if you’re hosting a costume party.
Ingredients
- 1 beet
- 4 oranges
- 4 carrots
- 4 large celery sticks
