YUMMYLICIOUS #7: Chia Strawberry Jam/ Jagodna Marmelada s Chia Semeni

Hello!

Store bought jams contain a lot of sugar and are highly processed. So today I have a delicious and healthy jam that everybody can make at home. 

To make the jam thick I use chia seeds. This awesome super food is fool of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber and minerals.

Kupljene marmelade vsebujejo ogromno sladkorja in so zelo procesirane. Zato imam danes za vas okusno in zdravo marmelado, ki jo lahko pripravite doma.

Da se marmelada zgosti uporabimo chia semena. Chia semena so odlično super živilo, ki vsebuje veliko omega 3 maščobnih kislin, beljakovin, vlaknin in mineralov.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp of coconut oil
• 2 cups of frozen strawberries
• Water (about 1/4 cup)
• 1-2 tbsp of agave nectar  (you can use honey, maple syrup or other sugar substitutes)
• 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds 

Preparation:

1. In a small pot heat the coconut oil on medium heat.
2. Add the strawberries, cover and let them cook for a few minutes.
3. Mash the strawberries with a potato masher and add water. Leave to cook for about 3 -5 minutes on low heat. 
4. Then add the agave nectar and chia seeds and mix well. 
5. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down. 
6.  Serve on protein pancakes.

ENJOY!
