Let’s talk about chia seeds. Some of you might be hesitant to try this foreign ingredient, but after this recipe you’ll be ready to make it a staple in your pantry. Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and a healthy dose of fiber, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, and iron.  You can typically find them in a bag sold in your local grocery store. The berries in this recipe are also an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, and potassium and phenomenal source of antioxidants. 

For this recipe, you’ll need some blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds, and maple syrup if you want to add a bit of sweetness. Take all of the ingredients and blend them all together in a blender. It’s as easy as that! This puppy is ready to serve.

Spread the jam on some whole wheat toast, whole wheat pancakes, or even some crackers as a snack.  Keep it on hand in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.  Our recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons.  Feel free to try this with some other type of berries if you’re looking to switch it up.  How easy does this sound?
