Chia Jam
Feb 04, 2025- Recently I set about making a jam that I felt was healthier than the traditional version.
- I didn’t want to load it with sugar, but I still wanted it to taste good enough that my daughter would want to eat it.
- Berries which are packed full of antioxidants to help keep our body healthy and vitamin C to boost our immune system plus they count as one of your 5 a day.
- Chia seeds, which are little nutritional powerhouses as they are packed with a host of vitamins and minerals.
