Chia Jams are super simple and fun to make. Cooking tends to bring out the flavor a bit more, but the fruit can be cooked or raw. 

We've chosen Acai powder in this recipe because it pairs perfectly with berries and has a ton of incredible benefits. Acai is an excellent source of antioxidants, dietary fiber, amino acids, healthy fats, manganese, and Vitamin A. 
Acai has been shown to: 

• Improve overall wellness & energy 
• Contribute to healthy skin
• Support weight loss + appetite control 
• Aid in digestion
• Improve cognitive function
• Provide anti-aging benefits
• Stimulate the immune system
