Hello everyone Today I am sharing a delicious no cook recipe for strawberry mint chia jam. It has no extra sweetening - just the natural sweetness of the strawberries. This is a great example of good health through good food. Organic and or home grown food is the best natural medicine there is. Chia is a great source of calcium for strong healthy bones In the ancient Mayan culture the word chia actually means strength. Chia seeds are rich in vitamins C A E and B. They are high in antioxidants too that reduce levels of free radicals in the body. Studies also show them to be hog in omega 3 fatty acids, the health benefits of which are well documented. The mint adds extra yummy medicine to the mix being great for digestion, improving brain function, relieving irritable bowel syndrome and much more. Strawberries are packed with vitamins and anti oxidants too. They help lower that blood pressure and protect against cancer.
