Chia seeds are known for being high in fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.

Paired with yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit, our Strawberry Chia Jam recipe will start your morning off right.

Our Strawberry Flavour brings in the sweetness of a fresh, ripe strawberry, so no matter the season, you always get the taste of a perfectly sun-ripened strawberry.

Notes

Pro Tip: Serve over Greek yogurt and granola in a glass bowl as a parfait.

Orange and strawberry pair beautifully together. But don't be afraid to get creative with flavour.

Below are some other flavour combinations. REMEMBER… if you are swapping out the flavours, start with less than what the recipe calls for, taste and adjust.

Swap out the Strawberry for:
Black Cherry
Pomegranate
Raspberry

Swap out the Orange Flavour For:
Yuzu
Lemon
Pink Grapefruit
Mandarin Orange
Apricot

Of course you can really make this your own, and get creative.
