PowerCakes Chia Jam

Hi everyone!

     I found a fun, healthy and easy way to incorporate chia seeds into your diet.  I bought chia seeds a long long time ago and have been randomly sprinkling them on random foods.  I did not really know a “yummy” way of using them until {Guess What} I found PowerCakes!! She uses her chia seeds on just about everything.  I am really happy I stumbled upon her blog and her healthy power recipes!

     I put a little bit of my yummy chia jam on top of cooked steel cut oats.  I also put non hydrogenated peanut butter, flax seeds and  cinnamon on my oats. {I tried coconut on my oats once :/ and I was not a fan}  Please stay posted for my new blog adventure!  I will try to post once or every other week.

Enjoy!

Let's get started!!

.:: INGREDIENTS ::.

¼ cup chia seeds

1.5 cups berries of choice

Place 1.5 cups of fresh or frozen berries in a microwave safe container and microwave for about 2 minutes. 

{I used frozen cranberries and raspberries}

Remove the HOT HOT HOT berries and place them into a blender and blend.

Pour the blended berries back into the bowl add the chia seeds and stir.

Let the mixture cool in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

NOTE: I found a recipe on goop for chia seed pudding; I was not thrilled with it.  Each person has different taste so please try it and let me know what you think!! ¼ cup chia seeds mixed with 2/3 cup water.  Directions are to stir ingredients and then let it sit in the fridge for 10 minutes until it forms a “pudding-like” consistency.  Top with fresh fruit of your choice.
