Today is a really easy day for me. I got done with classes at 9:40 because my statistics professor cancelled class again! So, I of course, went to Trader Joe's because I haven't been there probably since the end of last semester-that was in May! Trader Joe's is one of my favorite places because I absolutely love to grocery shop. I really only went there to purchase some frozen raspberries, bananas, apples and chia seeds, but I ended up buying a few other goodies, too! Take a look:
I decided I wanted more peanut butter(YUM!) and then I saw there salsa which looked really good(and it is really good) and then I saw the spicy peanut vinaigrette that Cassey Ho had mentioned in one of her videos. So, of course, I splurged and bought those goodies, too!

Now, onto the recipe for the raspberry jam. It literally is the easiest recipe ever! There is only 3 ingredients involved. Ok, here you go.
Raspberry Jam
- 1 10-12oz bag of frozen raspberries, thawed
- 2-3 tbsp. of chia seeds
- 1 tbsp. of your choice of sweetener, if using. (I used honey)
- Mash and mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Put the mixture into a jar with a lid and put in the refrigerator.
- Let it chill for at least 6 hours before serving.
I hope you guys give this quick and simple recipe a try. Chia seeds are a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way and they go great in lots of things-smoothies, cereal, yogurt, etc. My bag cost $4.29 at Trader Joe's, but I know it will last me awhile. I hope everyone is having an amazing day, eating healthy, and staying active!
Enjoy :)
