This 2 ingredient jam is perfect for the luteal phase because it has more healthy fat and protein and no added sugar to help with satiety.
Ingredients
2 cups berries of your choice (frozen works well). I like mixed berry.
2 Tbs chia seeds
Instructions
- Heat a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add the berries and warm them before adding the chia seeds.
- Smash the berries and cook for 8-10 minutes until the berries are thickened. *If you prefer you jam thinner, feel free to add water. Enjoy!
Athlete Benefits
-The antioxidants in the berries help reduce inflammation caused by training.
-The chia seeds provide omega-3 fatty acids that also help reduce inflammation and help restore intramuscular triglycerides, a fuel source in the muscle
-Fiber in the berries and seeds promote a healthy, balanced gut microbiome which can be disturbed from training
-Structured water helps rehydrate
