Ingredients

Strawberry Chia Jam

Instructions

  • Make your jam first
  • Place berries on stove top over low - med heat
  • Allow to soften and mash to your liking. Allow to simmer 10 minutes
  • Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Mixture will thicken as it cools
  • Once cool, dollop roughly 1/2 tbsp servings onto parchment paper, and freeze for 1 hour
  • For the energy bites, mix everything together in a bowl until smooth
  • If your mixture feels crumbly add more of a wet ingredient (runny PB or maple syrup- will add depend on your protein powder and how runny your PB is)
  • Gather roughly 2 tbsp worth of dough, flatten it between your hands, and add your frozen jam center.
  • Roll the dough around it, fully enclosing the jam
  • Allow the PB&J bites to set in the fridge for 30 min for best taste and texture
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freezer up to 3 months
