Key Ingredients And Swaps

- Frozen mixed berries: I like the Kirkland blend with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. You can use any mix of frozen berries you prefer. If you love berries, try my peanut butter berry smoothie or berry breakfast crumble.
- Chia seeds: This is where lots of the fiber comes from, and how the jam is thickened. Don’t swap, but feel free to use a little more or less depending on how thick you like your jam.
- Honey: You can swap this for any sweetener including maple syrup, agave, Stevia, or sugar. Or, feel free to leave it out for a chia jam with no added sugar. Feel free to adjust the amount to fit your taste too!

Serving Suggestions
Chia jam can be used like any other jam — but you can use a much bigger serving size! Here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy it:
- Yogurt: Add a big scoop to Greek yogurt with your favorite granola and chopped nuts.
- Toast: Slather your favorite high-fiber or sourdough toast with nut butter, then add a generous serving of chia jam right on top.
- Oatmeal: Use a scoop of chia jam as a topper for warm or overnight oats.
- Apple slices: Dip apple or pear slices in chia jam for a sweet but nutrient-dense snack. Another one of my favorite apple dips is this high-protein peanut butter yogurt dip.
- Roll-ups: Spread peanut butter and chia jam over a whole grain tortilla, then tightly roll and slice into pinwheels.
Miranda’s Tips
Tips From My Test Kitchen
- Use frozen berries, not fresh. Frozen berries are cheaper than fresh, and they’re more predictable to work with. Fresh fruit varies in ripeness and water content, which can change the thickness of your jam each time you make it.
- Adjust the honey to taste. I often make this jam without any honey to reduce added sugar, or sometimes I’ll put a little extra. Play with ratios to find what works for you!
- Eat within a few days. Unlike traditional jam, this recipe won’t stay shelf-stable for long. Keep it stored in the fridge and eat within four days.

Frozen Berry Chia Jam
Equipment
- small pot
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mixed berries, I prefer the Kirkland blend from Costco with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- ½ Tbsp honey or maple syrup, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Add berries to a small pot on the stove. Turn the heat to medium and leave uncovered, but stay close to the stove.
- Let this cook, stirring occasionally, until berries look completely defrosted and soft. You want to keep going until they’ve released most of their liquid into the pot and the mix starts to look soupy.
- Remove from the heat and stir in chia seeds and honey. Let this cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then just serve or store!
Notes
- Serve your chia jam on toast, yogurt, or oatmeal, or as a dip with apple slices.
- Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to four days.
