Raspberry and chia keto jam
Chia seeds are well known as a superfood. Despite being low in calories, they are packed with fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Chia can be eaten raw, blended into a smoothie or sprinkled over salads. Alternatively, they can swell up into a jelly when you mix them into a liquid, which can help support regular bowel movements.
