Candy canes. Festive and delicious? Yes! A health food? Also yes! They are now with these vegan, Candy Cane Chia Seed Pudding parfait.

Perfect for a holiday brunch or dessert, these jars are sure to get whoever eats them in the holiday spirit. Plus, they couldn’t be easier to make. All you need to do is blitz everything up in a blender, chill, layer and serve. Your fridge practically does all the decorating for you. You can spend your valuable time making your house look like a pinterest board while your kitchen takes care of the snacks.

Don’t be fooled by their adorable, seasonal appearance though, these jars pack a punch. They’re loaded with plant based protein, fiber, and omega-3s. With a mix of fiber from the fruits, vegetables (yes, vegetables! In your breakfast! Wild.), along with the protein from the chia seeds and silken tofu, these jars will help you start off your day on a jolly, healthy note.

These jars also make for a great meal prep friendly breakfast. Make a batch of them at the beginning of the week so you can get a taste of the holidays everyday!
