Plant-Based Meatball Trees

IKEA's Veggieball Christmas Tree Creates a Plant-Powered Centerpiece

— December 15, 2023 — Lifestyle
IKEA is famous for its Swedish meatballs and for plant-based consumers who are looking for a festive way to dress up their holiday table, IKEA dropped a Veggieball Christmas Tree kit. This kit uses "lots of veggieballs from the IKEA range" and it includes a cone-shaped base that can be used to create an aesthetically pleasing and filling addition to festive spreads.

Although not everyone will be able to get their hands on the vegan meatball tree kit, those who want to recreate the idea themselves need only buy a few bags of IKEA's Huvudroll frozen plant balls and DIY their own conical base.

One of the comforts of the holiday season is food and this functional and flavorful centerpiece ensures vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians won't miss out.
