Nutritional Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds contain many health benefits such as antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.

These nutrients play a role in supporting multiple body functions and systems.

Chia seeds also contain nutrients that are good for bone health. These are calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

One of the best parts about chia sees is that they’re easy to incorporate into your diet such as with this recipe!

Frequently Asked Questions

What other fruits can I use instead of frozen mixed berries?

You could try this recipe with any frozen fruit!

What if I don’t have maple syrup or honey on hand?

You can substitute the maple syrup and honey with date syrup, another liquid sweetener or even some coconut sugar.

I would try to use the most natural sweetener possible!

Do I have to use any sort of sweetener?

You don’t! It’s just to add a little sweetness to the jam but it is just as delicious without it.

If you prefer your jam to not be sweet then omit the sweetener from the recipe. This will not affect the texture of the jam and the fruit will give it a light sweetness naturally.

How long can you store chia seed jam?

Up to a week in a closed container in the fridge. I typically use a mason jar to store it.

What are the best ways to use this Mixed Berry Jam?

I love adding it to a stack of pancakes (healthy pancake recipe linked here).

I also love to use it in a PB&J, oatmeal, breakfast bowl or just on a piece of toast!
