Move over, store-bought spreads—this Strawberry & Chia Seed Jam is here to brighten up your breakfast table and fuel your day with flavor and nutrients. If you’re searching for a wholesome, naturally sweet alternative to overly processed jams and jellies, you’ve just found your new go-to. Bursting with juicy strawberries and packed with nutrient-dense chia seeds, this easy homemade recipe is proof that delicious and healthy can absolutely go hand in hand.
Let’s talk ingredients: strawberries aren’t just sweet and pretty—they’re loaded with antioxidants, immune-boosting vitamin C, and fiber to help keep you feeling full and energized. They’re also known for supporting heart health and even helping to reduce inflammation. Then we add chia seeds, those tiny but mighty superfoods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals, and fiber. Chia seeds also support digestion, balance blood sugar, and help the jam naturally thicken without needing any artificial stuff.
With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you’ll have a luscious jam that’s as perfect on your morning toast as it is swirled into yogurt, spooned over oatmeal, or layered into baked treats. And yes—it’s kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and meal-prep approved.
Ready to transform your fruit into something seriously magical? Let’s make jam the way nature intended—fresh, simple, and full of feel-good goodness.
Recipe
How to Prepare
Heat fruits in a small pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruits begin to break down, about 10 minutes.
Use a wooden spoon to mash the fruit to your desired consistency.
Stir in the chia seeds, lemon juice, and sweetener until combined.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
The jam will thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately, or transfer the jam to a sealed container and refrigerate it for up to 1 week, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
