    Chia Seeds are high in fiber--A 1oz. serving of chia has 11 grams of dietary fiber and are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. However, most people are unsure of how to cook with them, so they tend to add them to yogurt or oatmeal. This is okay, but they can get a little chewy and gelatinous that way unless you mill them beforehand. This recipe maximizes the health benefits of the chia seeds in a flavorful way that can be served over oatmeal or spread on toast or muffins like a jam. Get your breakfast started with a healthy & tasty addition!

    Ingredients

    • 3-4 cups of any berry of your choice (Raspberries, Strawberries and Blackberries are best)
    • 1/2 cup of sugar
    • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (in a pinch a splash of vinegar works too)
    • 1-2 tablespoons of good quality Chia Seeds

    Directions

    1. Put the berries, sugar and juice in a sauce pan and cook the stove at medium heat until everything is mixed.
    2. Add the Chia Seeds and cook on low until the mixture is thickened.
    3. Serve immediately over hot cereal, toast or cool and spoon into storage container.
    4. Puree can be saved for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
