Halloween

I miss trick-or-treating. It’s not the candy that I miss, per se, but the entire experience. Dressing up quickly after school. Waiting anxiously for everyone else. The parents were always running late. Come oooon, Mom and Dad! We need to get going! It didn’t occur to me that there was probably nobody home to hand out candy anyway. When everyone was finally dressed and ready, we went out and stayed out for hours, . Yes, hours. We walked miles to gather pounds and pounds of candy. We even stopped for a hydration break. (Thank you neighbor for handing out juice boxes. Much appreciated.) When my sister and I got home Halloween night, we would sort our candy and trade strategically. It didn’t matter in the end, though. I had a terrible sweet tooth and stole her candy after I ate through mine. I think she knew. If she didn’t, she definitely knows now! Sorry.

What is your favorite Halloween treat? I love dark chocolate. I have found that chocolate Larabars, made with chocolate, nuts and dried fruit, can really hit the spot. I also love Kind Bars. Try any flavor with chocolate or cinnamon for a seasonal treat. Find them here at Magic Potion Juice Bar!

Happy Halloween! I hope it’s a sweet one. You are never too old to celebrate.

Fall Favorites

Wednesday morning rain had me worried. The chorus of drops on my windowpane was not exactly the noise I wanted to wake up to. Still, I got myself out of bed (though the blankets were warm and my puppy wanted to snuggle) and made myself somewhat presentable. The sky was gray, and I had little hope.
But, October did not fail me! The gray skies cleared to a brilliant blue, and golden leaves shone in the Autumn sunlight. There was a chill in the air, but it was nt bitterly cold and the wind was calm. Crisp Autumn weather. Perfect. Days like these I crave those fall favorites: homemade apple crisp, pecan pie, pumpkin anything.
Magic Potion Juice Bar has introduced my newest fall favorite. All the best things of the season blended together - literally. Pumpkin pie smoothie. Pumpkin puree, your choice of non-dairy milk (we are a vegan juice bar), a handful of pecans, some maple syrup, and cinnamon. I love pecans and have heard that my dad makes a  MEAN pecan pie. Maple syrup sweetens the deal. Cinnamon makes everything taste amazing. Really, you can't go wrong. Please come in and give our newest smoothie a try. Who knows? It could become your new fall favorite!
