Delicious Berry Chia Jam Recipe!
Did you know conventional jam is around 50% pure sugar?
And while it is undoubtedly delicious, this berry chia jam is just as scrumptious and certainly far more nutritious. It is also extremely versatile – spread it on toast, use it as a topping for pancakes or to add flavour to natural Greek Yoghurt.
The method is super simple and utilises chia’s ability to absorb liquids. In fact chia seeds, can absorb up to ten times their weight in liquid. Chia seeds are also a great source of fibre which slows digestion, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels (which often also cause meltdowns in children).
You can easily substitute the berries for a combination of other fruits to mix it up and make a variety of jam flavours.
