Acai Berry Jam Recipe

By in Kids, Raw Foods, recipe, Sweets

This sweet, fruity topping is fantastic on anything from morning toast to “Raw I Scream” to “Cacao Brownies” . Top diced fruit, chopped nuts and/or granola with this jam for a Superfood breakfast.

Ingredients
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup organic apple juice
1 cup organic blueberries
3 tablespoons acai powder
 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1-3 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste)

Soak chia seeds in apple juice until the juice is absorbed and the mixture becomes gelatinous. Blend blueberries in the blender until almost smooth.  Add blended blueberries to the chia seed mixture along with remaining ingredients.  Stir well to combine.  You can enjoy this jam right away or refrigerate to use later. It will keep for a week or so
