CHRISTMAS SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS
My delicious holiday smoothie can be made with the chia pudding on the bottom or without it is totally up to you! I love making chia seed pudding with my smoothies to make a more balanced and filling smoothie.
You just need a few simple ingredients to make my healthy Christmas smoothie recipe.
- chia seeds
- milk of choice
- frozen bananas
- beet root powder (for red color)
- collagen or protein powder (optional)
HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY CHRISTMAS SMOOTHIE
Step 1: Make your chia seed pudding
Since chia pudding takes a little bit of time to gel, you will want to start by making this.
First, add 4 tablespoons of chia seeds to a bowl. Add a half of a cup of milk. I like using soy milk for my chia pudding. But, you can use the type of milk you want! Whisk the chia and milk with a fork and let sit about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, you can whisk the chia pudding again. You will notice it has started to “gel,” or thicken. Make sure you evenly mix it! Add the other half cup of your milk and whisk again.
Now, you can pour your chia pudding into a parfait jar to continue thickening while you make your santa’s red smoothie!
Step 2: Make your Santa's Hat Smoothie!
To make the holiday smoothie recipe, all you have to do is add 3 simple ingredients to a blender: 4 frozen bananas, 2 tablespoons of beet root powder, and 1 scoop of collagen powder. You may need to turn off your blender and stir it many times to make sure it combines. See the video below on what the texture should look like.
And that is it! Your Christmas smoothie jar is done and you can relax while you prepare for the holidays ahead!
