Do you consume jam on a daily basis? I like to spread my toast with peanut butter and jam and sometimes I like to top my overnight oats with jam. It adds that extra sweetness to my morning. =)
A lot of store bought jams are loaded with sugar. If you were to read the ingredients list, sugar is usually listed as the 1st ingredient and it’s definitely not the best option. So why not make your own healthy jam instead?
MIXED BERRIES CHIA JAM
- 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Mixed Berries

- 3. 2 tbsps. Chia Seeds
MANGO CHIA JAM
- 2 cups Mango, peeled & diced into cubes
- 2. 2 tbsps. Honey or Maple Syrup

Each tablespoon of jam has about 25 Calories.
Store in the fridge and this will keep up to 2 weeks. These chia jams are looser and more sauce-like compared to the traditional store-bought jam. You can use it just like your typical jam – spread it on toast, stir into oatmeal or spoon it over yoghurt. Yuummzzzz!!
