One of my FAVORITE meals of all time is a simple PB&J sandwich using my homemade chia seed jam. For this recipe, we teamed up with @oroweatbread as part of their ‘Feed Your Body and Soul’ initiative. We love Oroweat because their bread is yummy, baked with simple ingredients and no artificial preservatives, colors, flavors or high fructose corn syrup.

Here’s what you need: 👉🏽 16oz frozen berries (or fresh in the summer) 👉🏽 2 tbsp chia seeds 👉🏽 2 slices of Oroweat 100% Whole Wheat bread 👉🏽 2 tablespoons of natural crunchy peanut butter Here’s what you do: -Heat fruit in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the fruit is heated through and begins to break down and bubble. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the fruit to your desired consistency. -Stir in the chia seeds until combined. -Reduce heat and simmer for 2-4 minutes -Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. (The jam will thicken considerably as it cools.) -Give the jam one final good stir. Make sandwich by toasting bread and spreading one slice with peanut butter and 1 slice with jam. Transfer leftovers to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. TIP: I love to serve this with a tall glass of unsweetened soy milk, a piece of fruit and an easy veggie (like baby carrots) Enjoy! – ❤️ Jess
