Who doesn’t love some great jam on your toast in the morning, or a delicious pb& j sandwich – it reminds me of when I was a kid!
The problem with most jams is that there really isn’t much fruit in there anymore. There is a whole lot of sugar, preservatives, and even dyes sometimes but not a heck of a lot of fruit.
Of course, I have a super easy & MUCH healthier choice for you.
This strawberry chia jam is packed with omega-3 fatty acids (great for your brain, hormones, skin & weight loss) and the best part is that you can use any berry you like. Try a mixture of all of them if you want!
This jam tastes so good you will be tempted to eat it straight from the container as a snack (I know I’ve done it) but you can also spread it on toast, pancakes or biscuits and throw it on top of oatmeal & yogurt. There are so many choices!
Strawberry Chia Jam
Prep
Inactive
Total
Yield 1 Small Jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic strawberries (frozen or fresh) – you can use any berry here
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla stevia, to taste (optional – I left it out)
Instructions
If using frozen berries, let them thaw.
Place berries and chia seeds into a blender or food processor and pulse until well combined.
Taste and add stevia if necessary.
You can use 2-3 drops of liquid stevia, but it's not necessary with super sweet berries. It just depends on how sweet you want your jam.
Cover the mixture and place in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes to set.
Enjoy!
Keep leftovers in a covered container in the fridge. The jam should stay good for at least a week.
