chia jam
- 2 cups organic berries, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 2 ½ Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp acai powder or lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp raw honey, optional
chia berry sauce
- 2 cups organic berries, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 1 ½ Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp acai powder or lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp raw honey, optional
- For either chia jam or sauce, use an immersion blender to puree the berries to a smooth consistency. The berry puree should measure 1 to 1 ¼ cups.
- Stir in the chia seeds and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
- Stir in the acai powder or lemon juice and taste. If the berries are too tart, consider adding a little honey.
Consider using the berry chia jam on Greek yogurt, in a smoothie, or on a slice of whole grain toast “buttered” with 1 tsp coconut oil.
