Blueberry Chia Jam

This blueberry chia jam is low-sugar, super simple, and actually good for your gut. Chia seeds add fiber and help it thicken naturally, while blueberries bring antioxidants and natural sweetness. Perfect on toast, yogurt, or ice cream (no judgment here!).

Yield: ~ 1 cup

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 mintues

Ingredients

• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

• 2–3 tsp maple syrup, honey, or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

• 2 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, add blueberries. Heat over medium until they start to soften and burst, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

2. Lightly mash with a fork or potato masher to your preferred texture (chunky or smoother).

3. Stir in lemon juice and sweetener (if using). Taste and adjust.

4. Add chia seeds, stir well, and cook for 1–2 minutes more.

5. Remove from heat. Let it sit 10–15 minutes — it will thicken as the chia absorbs liquid.

6. Transfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months.
