Why not combine them to make these wonderful, <a href=\"http:\/\/hungryhappenings.com\/2013\/12\/spinach-artichoke-frittata-Christmas-trees.html\/\" target=\"_blank\">vegetarian-friendly frittatas<\/a> for Christmas! Most of these items may already be in your kitchen, the only thing that you\u2019ll need is a special silicone mold to shape the trees. Fry up the garlic and spinach, mix it into the batter and bake. That\u2019s pretty much all you\u2019ll need to do for this one! Thanks to Hungry Happenings for the recipe and image!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Healthy Christmas Recipes: Yogurt Christmas Tree Cakes<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24650\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24650\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kab_frozen_tree_treats.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/kab_frozen_tree_treats-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Christmas Recipes:  Yogurt Christmas Tree Cakes by Kids Activities Blog\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Healthy Christmas Recipes: Yogurt Christmas Tree Cakes by Kids Activities Blog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These aren\u2019t cakes so much as they are <a href=\"http:\/\/kidsactivitiesblog.com\/21775\/christmas-cakes-ideas\" target=\"_blank\">frozen yogurt bars<\/a>. After all, cakes aren\u2019t all that healthy, are they? The two main things you will need are low-fat vanilla yogurt and lime Jell-O packages. \u00a0Use the same Christmas tree mold from the spinach artichoke frittata trees to form the shape of these cute little cakes. Everything after this point is a snap! Decorate the little trees anyway you like with sprinkles, coconut shreds, or bits of fruit. Boom. Healthy Christmas recipes for both you and the kids to enjoy! Thanks to Kids Activities Blog for the recipe and image!<\/p>\n\n<h2>Healthy Christmas Recipes: Hummus Trees<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24649\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24649\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-15-at-1.24.09-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-15-at-1.24.09-PM-300x219.png\" alt=\"Healthy Christmas Recipes: Hummus Trees by Come Back Momma\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24649\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Healthy Christmas Recipes: Hummus Trees by Comeback Momma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.comebackmomma.com\/healthy-christmas-treats\/\" target=\"_blank\">These little trees<\/a> are about as healthy as healthy Christmas recipes can get. All you need is some pita bread, hummus, colorful toppings and a pretzel stick for the trunk. Although the picture here shows avocado hummus, you can use any kind of green hummus you can think of. I personally love this roasted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/roasted-garlic-spinach-hummus-517112\" target=\"_blank\">garlic spinach hummus<\/a>. For \u201cornament\u201d toppings, you can use peppers, pimentos, bits of cheese, or anything else that you can manage to dream up!
