Today we prepare a simple recipe that once you try I am sure you will repeat. It is a strawberry and chia jam, ideal to complete breakfast. On toast or mixed with natural yogurt, it becomes a great alternative for the whole family.
Chia seeds are considered a "superfood" because of their great nutrient supply. They are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, calcium, protein and omega 3 fatty acids of plant origin. Because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, it also produces a feeling of satiety.
