5-MIN Sugar-Free Blueberry Vanilla Chia Seed Jam
I love chia seed jams. They are super healthy, sugar-free and easy to make. Takes only 5 minutes. Feel free to use any other fruit and make your own jam creations. It's delicious on toast and pancakes or swirl a spoonful through your yogurt bowl. Just yum!

Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1-2 tablespoons raw honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water warm
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl or use a food processor. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Use as you would use other jam.
- Since refrigerator jams are raw, sugar-free and fresh they don't keep very long in the fridge. We always make small batches and use a different kind of fruit each time. Keeps things interesting.
Notes
- Slightly mixing will give it a jam-like consistency, while processing at a higher speed will give it a jelly-like consistency.
- FYI: Research has shown that we can freeze blueberries for up to 6 months without doing damage to their powerful antioxidants. CLICK HERE for more info about blueberries.
- FYI: Chia seeds can take up 9 times their weight in water while forming a gel-like substance, making them ideal to turn any fruit into a delicious jam. CLICK HERE for more info about chia seeds.
