Chia seeds have been used for centuries, originally cultivated by the Aztecs for their high nutritional value. When combined with milk, they create a naturally thick and creamy pudding, making them a popular modern superfood. Adding fresh cranberries introduces a burst of tart flavor, making this pudding more dynamic. It’s a great way to enjoy cranberries outside of traditional baked goods while also getting a nutrient boost.
