Swedish Shark Raspberry Chia Jam

It's time to put all that summer fruit to good use with this chia raspberry jam!

Though raspberries are suggested, feel free to substitute for any fruit such as blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries.

No added sugars, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and no added fats either.

The perfect substitute for your regular store-bought jam! Try it on your usual baked goods or in your oatmeal, cream of rice, over fruit or yogurt for guilt-free sweetness and flavor!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a pot, bring raspberries and water to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until it has reduced and the raspberries have broken down and become jam-like.
  2. Add in the Perfect Sports Swedish Shark HyperClear BCAA, chia seeds, lemon juice and salt.
  3. Stir to combine. The residual heat will activate the chia seeds and become jammy.
  4. Let cool and store in an airtight container.

 

Tropical Pineapple Miso Glaze

Want to spice up your BBQ game this summer?

Our sweet and sour tangy Hawaiian Pineapple Candy BCAA is your perfect sidekick, partnering the spice, bite, and umami of miso and ginger.

Miso is fermented soybean paste and is commonly found in some of our favorite Japanese dishes including miso soup. You can find it now at your local grocery store in the Asian aisle but feel free to substitute for a dijon mustard in this recipe if you prefer.

Use this as a marinade, glaze, dressing or condiment for your favorite proteins and meals! Sauteed Shrimp with Pineapple Miso Glaze, Pineapple Miso Grilled Chicken Drumsticks or Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Pineapple Miso Dressing are just some of the tasty possibilities!
