Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition condensed into tiny gems, and now they take center stage in this Strawberry Chia Seed Jam.Â
The popular seeds are packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, calcium, magnesium and manganese. Strawberries are abundant in vitamin C, the well-known nutrient that supports immunity, production of collagen and brain health. Making this sweet jam is a very smart idea!
You only need three ingredients for this easy, healthy jam: strawberries, chia seeds and a sweetener of your choice. We love raw honey, but you can opt for maple syrup to keep it vegan!

Blend the ingredients, heat until bubbling and store in sterilized jars to preserve your strawberry goodness! Tip: for a chunkier jam, blend the mixture for only a few seconds. If you prefer a thinner consistency, blend for longer.
Spread onto any homemade baked goodie… or have a cheeky spoonful!
