Wild Blueberry Chia Seed Jam

March 13, 2013 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Wild Blueberry Chia Seed Jam | healthylivinghowto.com

Ok, so check this out…in less than 10 minutes you can make your own healthy jam without any added sugar. It is so simple. all you need is a cup of frozen fruit (fresh will also do), water, chia seeds and stevia to taste. The recipe makes a half cup, but can easily be doubled or tripled. And if jam isn't your gig, this makes a jelly as well. All you have to do is whiz it in a high-powered blender upon completion and then let it cool.

About Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are rich in omega-3*, soluble fiber and antioxidants. Chia seeds are an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, and copper. They have six times more calcium, eleven times more phosphorus, and five times more potassium than milk. Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants; chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol flavonols. These antioxidants are more effective than both vitamin C and E in their protective qualities.

*While chia seeds are known for their concentration of the short-chain omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, it is important to note, we also need the long-chain omega-3's, EPA and DHA, which are found in fish and fish oil.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
