A 10-minute Strawberry Chia Seed Jam that’s so easy and delicious, you’re never going to buy any from the store again. Sweetened with just the berries, this spread is Keto-friendly and sugar-free too!I bought a box of strawberries to make something - I didn’t know what though, I just wanted them - about a week ago and then forgot they existed.And the other day somehow I remembered that a short while ago everyone was all about some simple chia jam recipe.Googled it and it was actually SO EASY! Literally just boil berries and add chia.Just magical!This freezer-friendly chia seed jam is high in fiber, healthy fats and omega 3s, and makes for a great spread for a PB & J.
