Vegan Apple Cranberry Bundt Cake

Along with being a dessert you can be proud to serve anyone, there is so much healthy goodness in this dessert too. Let’s start with the health benefits of chia seeds. Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the plant salvia Hispanica, which is related to the mint plant. This plant grows natively in South America. Chia seeds are high in quality protein and contain a good balance of essential amino acids. Grapeseed oil is a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. Also the polyphenols and flavonoids found in grapeseed oil contain strong antioxidant compounds that can provide protection against cellular and tissue damage caused by free radicals. And finally, as far as healthy foods go, cranberries are at the top of the list due to their high nutrient and antioxidant content and are often referred to as a “ super food.” Not to mention, half a cup of cranberries contains only 25 calories!
