Can I make the Vampire Blood Smoothie without beets?

Yes! If you’d rather skip the beet, simply increase the strawberries and raspberries or add a few extra pomegranate seeds. The color will still be a vivid red, though slightly lighter, and the flavor will stay fruity and refreshing.

How do I make this smoothie vegan?

The Vampire Blood Smoothie is easy to adapt for a vegan diet. Use coconut, almond, or oat milk instead of yogurt. For sweetness, swap honey with maple syrup or agave. The result is just as creamy and festive.

What fruits give the best blood-red color?

Beets create the deepest color, but strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and pomegranate also give a rich scarlet hue. For the most dramatic effect, combine at least two of these fruits. Frozen berries intensify both color and flavor.

Can I prepare the smoothie the night before Halloween?

Yes, you can. Store it in airtight jars in the refrigerator, and give it a good shake before serving. While it tastes best fresh, it will still hold its flavor and color for up to 24 hours. For a party, prepare fruit portions ahead of time and blend right before serving for maximum freshness.
