Perfect for a fun morning activity with the kids, this pudding is packed with nutrients and topped with a delightful all-natural fruit Christmas tree. Who said you can’t play with food? If a Christmas tree is not your vibe – might I suggest a frosty the chia man?

Ingredients for the Chia Pudding

  • Chia Seeds: Loaded with protein, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, they make a nutritious base.
  • Almond Milk: A dairy-free option that’s light and perfect for chia pudding.
  • Vegan Greek Yogurt: Adds creaminess and a boost of plant-based protein.
  • Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener for a touch of sweetness.

 

Ingredients for Decorating

  • Kiwi Fruit: Rich in vitamin C and adds a vibrant green to our Christmas tree.
  • Pomegranate Seeds: Bursting with antioxidants, they make perfect ornaments.
  • Cinnamon Sticks: A festive spice that also serves as the tree trunk.
  • Banana: For the star on top, providing potassium and natural sweetness.
  • Shredded Coconut: Mimics snow and adds a tropical twist.

Lighting up this Christmas Tree

Begin by preparing the chia pudding – a simple step that can be done the night before. Once it’s set, the real fun begins: assembling your Christmas tree. Layer kiwi triangles to form a tree, add a banana star, cinnamon stick trunk, pomegranate seed ornaments, and a sprinkle of coconut ‘snow.’ It’s a creative, delightful way to start the day!

This Christmas Tree Chia Pudding recipe is the perfect way to engage with kids in the kitchen, teaching them about healthy eating while enjoying the creativity of the season. Plus, it’s a deliciously nutritious start to any festive day.

So, let’s make this holiday season bright and merry, starting with a bowl of Christmas Tree Chia Pudding!

  • kiwi fruit

Instructions
 

  • First let’s prep our chia pudding. (This step is best done the night prior but you can also do it a few hours in advance of serving).
  • In a large bowl, combine all pudding ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined. Let stand 5 mins and whisk again to remove any lumps. Cover and refrigerate for minimum one hour or if using for breakfast prep. Overnight 🙂
  • Once the chia pudding is set, peel and slice the kiwi fruit into small triangles.
  • Add your desired amount of the chia pudding mix to a bowl. And begin to layer your kiwi triangles into the shape of a tree. Start with one at the top. Then two beneath that. Then three and so on.
  • Once you have your kiwi tree. Top with a banana star (I used a vegetable cut out) a cinnamon stick for the trunk. Pomegranate seeds for the ornaments and finally some shredded coconut below to mimic snow! All natural and fun! Enjoy!
