Hey Chicks,
Summer has been banging with awesome berries…now what to do with all of them? Make jam!
But this is not any type of jam! It’s a nutrition powerhouse jam. It’s packed with calcium, anti oxidants, happy fats (aka essential fatty acids) thanks to its main gelling ingredient…chia seeds (read more about why I love the benefits of chia in the Choco Chia Breakfast Pudding).
3 Ingredients: blueberries, chia seeds & stevia (or use raw honey)
Plus, it has only 3 ingredients so even the most culinary challenged chick can make it!
Step 2: Throw 3 ingredients in a food processor
CHICK FEED: 3 Ingrediant Jammin Jam Recipe
Make 2 cups
- 2 cups of fruit or berries
- 2 Tbsp of raw honey (or equivalent in stevia for sugar free)
- 2 Tbsp of ground chia seeds
Directions
- Grind chia seeds in coffee grinder. You can leave whole but it makes a smoother texter if ground)
- Place all ingredients in food processor.
- Pour into glass mason jar. Refrigerate overnight for chia seeds to gel and thicken.
- Wake up and enjoy instead of sugar packed, processed store bought jam!
STEP 3: Puree until smooth and pour into mason jar
CHICK TIPS
- After blending, stir in dried fruit or cut up fruit / berries for a chunkier jam.
- Mix & match! Combos we love are strawberry/rhubarb, blueberry/ raspberry, blackberry /orange..just make sure the total amount is 2 cups.
- Get your kiddies involved! This is a super fun and easy healthy eating project to get the wee ones in on and can be done year round.
STEP 4: Refridgerate overnight to gel & enjoy!
Now let’s get jammin’!
