Cranberry Chia Pudding is made with:

- Milk: any plant-based milk will work
- Protein: good source of protein provides satiety for a blood sugar balancing meal
- Cranberry sauce: leftover cranberry sauce or cranberry jam

Recipe Tips:
- Easily double or even make enough for the week

- Adjust the liquid-to-chia seed ratio depending on your preferred consistency. If you like it thicker add 3/4 cup of milk if you like it thinner add milk to your desired consistency
- The toppings are optional and you can customize them with what you enjoy and have on hand. I like coconut yogurt and granola or peanut butter for a peanut butter and jelly style type chia pudding
- If you don’t like the chia pudding texture make it in the blender, let thicken, and blend into a creamy mousse-like texture
- Warm this chia pudding before adding toppings on the stove or in the microwave to make it extra cozy
