  This jam is soooo good! You don't cook it so it is super easy and you keep the fresh strawberry taste! Plus it is very healthy!- Happymoneysaver.com

May is National Strawberry month! This makes me excited for two reasons: First, I love eating strawberries, and second, I love cooking with strawberries! So don’t be surprised if you see a few extra posts about strawberries this month! I thought this easy chia seed freezer strawberry jam recipe would be the perfect way to kick things off. It’s healthy, delicious and can be ready to drizzle, slather, or (if you are like me) eat by the spoonful in less than 10 minutes!

Chia Seed Strawberry Jam

So let’s not waste time talking when this amazing fresh jar of goodness is just minutes away! Here is our cast of super foods.

Strawberries, honey, chia seeds and lemon. Thats it! I don’t think you can find a healthier jam out there, especially if you use raw honey.  Just add all the ingredients to blender or food processor and you are set. I have included an easy to print recipe card at the bottom of this post.

So why all the fuss over chia seeds? Well, they gel up any liquid that they are in, so it gives a natural jam texture without having to use pectin. They are also packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants along with many other health benefits!

My favorite part about this freezer strawberry jam recipe is that you don’t cook it so you are able to keep that fresh strawberry taste. This jam is delicious on toast, waffles and even ice cream! Now, if I can only come up with a healthy chia seed Nutella, my life would be complete!

    Regarding your comment about healthy nutella -have you checked out chocolatecoveredkaties nutella recipe. I made it with honey and almond milk and it was delicious. I have been thinking of experimenting with adding chia and don’t see why you couldn’t. I’d probably grind the chia into meal and add it into the ground hazelnuts. Winco has the best price on hazelnuts that I have found. I made my nutella thicker and rolled it into truffles and also used it as the layer between GF chocolate cakes. Thanks for all your ideas.

    The measuremen of a pint of berries or 3 to 4 cup’s is confusing? So I didn’t know how to measure a pint from my 30 pounds of strawberries I picked. Are the cups for whole berries I’m assuming? Just measured like flour or in a liquid measuring cup? Anyway I did 3 cups measured with a scale so weighed in at 24 ounces. Mine come out less thick than I would like but still tastes good! Should have just used 12 Oz like the pint conversion chart said or 2.5 cups? Very confusing.

    Just made this. Only used 3 cups of chopped in half berries. I imagine if you used 4 cups or used 3 cups of pre-smashed berries it would be runny. It definitely wasn’t as firmly set as pectin freezer jam, but it’s still spreadable. And so delicious. I love having this as a low sugar option.

    I was just curious if you could in any way make this jam and preserve it instead of the freezer. Like when you normally jar jam. Has anyone tried it??

    I tried this with frozen strawberries… and it has become a syrup. I wonder if there’s something about the frozen strawberries that deactivate the chia seeds, even after the berries are thawed. Or can chia seeds get too old?

    How long will this keep in the fridge? Freezer?

      I would say 2 – 3 weeks in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. It could probably go longer than that but I always use it before the 3 month mark! I love this jam!

        It can easily last a year in the fridge, from one season to the next. It is perfect over plain homemade yogurt! Thank you!

    My strawberry freezer jam recipe never thickened this year–still yummy though. I’ll have to try this one! Did you use black or white chia seeds?

    I would have to sub stevia for the honey due to blood glucose issues in the family, but this looks yummy.

    I hope our local farm doesn’t run out of berries before I can try this! Been looking all over for a low sugar/no pectin recipe and they are hard to find! Thx for posting.
