    I have a serious addiction to all things Harry Potter.

    It began in 1999 when the first Time magazine article about the worldwide phenomena came out. I bought the first two books and I was gone… hook, line and sinker.

    I read the books to my newlywed husband on our honeymoon, I bought the audio books to listen to on car trips, I went to the first movie while on vacation for a friends’ wedding, I listened to Hedwig’s Overture on repeat when I had pregnancy induced insomnia, I stayed up all night reading newly released books while nursing my babies.

    I was an addict, and then I carefully tuned my kids into addicts.

    I read them each of the books, I dressed them as Harry and Hermione for Halloween, I threw them Harry Potter birthday parties, and we visited the touring display of movie props. (We even have a subscription to the Wizarding World Loot Crate, a box of Harry Potter Goodies delivered to your mailbox.)

    And now, after nearly 11 years of waiting, the time has come…

    We are heading to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.

    I might cry with happiness.

    Wizarding World Activities

    I cannot wait for all the Wizarding fun to begin. I want to ride the Hogwarts express, eat at the Leaky Cauldron, shop for wands at Ollivanders, buy pranks at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, and drink Butterbeer in Hogsmeade.

    … and my kids probably want to do that stuff too.

    It will be in Wizarding World heaven.

    Spreading the Harry Potter Love

    I don’t want to be a greedy, there is enough Harry Potter for everyone! To let you in on the HP fun (without having to travel) I’m sharing this delicious recipe for healthy Butterbeer smoothies (while I’m enjoying the not-so-healthy Hogsmeade version).

    At our HP birthday parties, we made Buttebeer with cream soda and butterscotch, whipped cream and caramel. It was tasty but sooooooo sweet and full of refined WHITE SUGAR.

    To make this smoothie, I tried to recreate the flavor of the Butterbeer latte recipe from Practically Functional. (Jessi’s warm Butterbeer version is so delicious my kids request it more than cocoa in the winter.)

    The result is a tasty smoothie that has no refined sugar, no artificial coloring, and it’s vegan! It’s the perfect summer treat for healthy kids (and ADULTS) who love Harry Potter.

    Vegan Caramel Sauce

    The key to the perfect Butterbeer smoothie is making a vegan caramel sauce with dates and cashews. It is creamy and delicious without sugar. Do you see that creamy dreamy deliciousness above? Who knew fruit and nuts could mimic dairy and sugar so convincingly?

    This caramel sauce also tastes great as a fruit dip… or eaten with a spoon… or licked off your finger (just sayin’).

    The Butterbeer Smoothie Recipe

    This is a straightforward smoothie recipe, just toss and blend. If you whip the caramel sauce up a day ahead of time it gets extra smooth and creamy. Then you can easily enjoy caramelicious Butterbeer smoothies for a whole week!

    You can use almond, cashew or coconut milk in this recipe or, if you have no dietary restrictions, plain old cows milk. Butterbeer smoothies do not discriminate!

      This looks so good! Having food allergies means my family often can’t enjoy this sort of thing, so thanks for making a vegan version!! I have a question about the dates and cashews…if you soften them overnight, can they be left out? Or, should they be refrigerated? Thanks!

        I have done both, but it is probably best to put them in the refrigerator once the water cools off.

          Oh my goodness! This is my new favourite smoothie! Not overly difficult to make either. How long does the vegan caramel sauce last? Or can I freeze it in an ice cube tray?

            It will last about a week in the fridge. I have not tried freezing it. I’m so glad you like the smoothie!
