Chia seeds were used by the Aztecs and Mayans for energy and hydration. Coconut milk became popular in Western wellness cooking in the 2010s for its creaminess and dairy‑free profile. Cranberries, native to North America, bring a tart seasonal contrast that fits perfectly into modern whole‑food cooking. This recipe blends:

• Ancient chia traditions
• Modern dairy‑free wellness
• Indigenous cranberry heritage Styled through Tori’s lens: gentle, nourishing, and family‑friendly.
