- 2 dates (optional)
Method
- Heat berries (and dates if using) in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring until softened and gently bubbling. Mash with a spoon or potato masher to your preferred texture.
- Stir in the chia seeds and lemon juice.
- Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes to thicken. Add to your air tight container for storage, and serve up when needed. Enjoy!
Want to save for later? You can store this jam in an air-tight glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
P.S. If you want to make this a fibre + protein-fuelled snack, just add 1 slice of sourdough toast and 1 tbsp of almond butter. Enjoy! (6g of fibre + 12g of protein).
