Blueberry Lemon Chia Jam

I am always looking for ways to cut back on added sugars and enjoy naturally sweet foods at the same time and this blueberry lemon chia jam makes the list! I had a container of sad bitter tasting blueberries and just before they were about to get thrown out I decided to make jam out of it...I have never made jam before and this was so easy to make that I can't believe I have never done it.

This recipe is 4 simple ingredients: Blueberry, lemon, chia seeds, and cinnamon, that is it!

Although the ingredients are simple the nutrition is jam-packed, pun intended😂

Blueberries: Antioxidant Powerhouses

Blueberries bring all the flavor and the benefits. They’re loaded with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which help fight inflammation and support heart health. Plus, they’re a great source of fiber, which can support digestion and keep you feeling satisfied.

Lemon Juice & Zest: A Zesty Dose of Vitamin C

Lemons don’t just add that bright, fresh flavor—we’re also getting a solid hit of vitamin C, which supports immune function and helps with collagen production. The zest contains even more concentrated antioxidants, so don’t skip it!

Cinnamon: More Than Just Cozy Flavor

Cinnamon adds warmth to this jam, but it’s also known for its potential to support blood sugar balance and fight inflammation. Plus, it’s a great way to enhance the natural sweetness of the blueberries without adding extra sugar. A little goes a long way!

Chia Seeds: Tiny but Mighty

Chia seeds are the real MVP here, helping to thicken the jam naturally while also packing in omega-3s, fiber, and protein. These tiny seeds support gut health, heart health, and even help keep you full longer. They’re proof that good things really do come in small packages!

This Blueberry Lemon Chia Jam isn’t just a fun recipe—it’s an easy way to add more nutrients to your day in a delicious, versatile way. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or just grab a spoon. I Hope you give this recipe a try and let me know how you like it!
