Treat Rudolph and the Reindeer to Gut-Healthy Holiday Snacks
We often think of Santa on Christmas Eve, but let’s not forget his trusty reindeer crew! While carrots are a classic for Rudolph and friends, why not add a little twist this year? These gut-healthy snacks are festive, nutritious, and fun for everyone—humans and reindeer alike.
With simple, fiber-rich options, you’ll be serving up treats that make both tummies and taste buds happy.
Gut-Healthy Snacks for Rudolph and Friends
1️⃣ Carrot and Hummus Trees 🥕🌲
Why it’s Gut-Friendly: Carrots are rich in fiber and beta-carotene, while hummus adds protein and gut-loving chickpeas.
How to Make It:
Use carrot sticks as “tree trunks.”
Shape hummus into tree shapes on a plate, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds or parsley for “decorations.”
2️⃣ Apple “Sleigh” Slices with Nut Butter 🍎
Why it’s Gut-Friendly: Apples are prebiotic-rich, while nut butter adds healthy fats and protein.
How to Make It:
Slice apples into thin wedges.
Spread almond butter on each slice and sprinkle with chia or flaxseeds for extra gut love.
3️⃣ “Reindeer Fuel” Trail Mix 🦌
Why it’s Gut-Friendly: A mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit provides fiber, healthy fats, and energy.
How to Make It:
Combine walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and a small handful of dark chocolate chips.
