Chia Jam
Who else loves jam? I grew up making jam with my mum and granny. Itโs always been a staple topping in our cupboards. Obviously traditional jams are very heavy in sugar so if you are looking to make your own version with no fuss let me introduce you to chia jam. I use chia jam a lot and it appears in lots of NBF recipes all the time however I wanted to create a little video for those who donโt believe me as to how easy it really is to make a healthy jam – check out my YouTube to see just how simple it is!
