Ahhhh, the raw vegan moment you’ve been waiting for: jam that doesn’t require cooking and is free of added sugars. You just need a mixture of fresh berries, a jar for mashing, chia seeds, and grade A maple syrup. The chia seeds bloom in the mashed berries and maple syrup, thickening the creation to yield a spreadable jam. Much like chia pudding, this jam takes some time to fully set. Ideally, prepare it in the evening and refrigerate overnight so that it is ready in the morning.

This jam contains three types of berries: raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. No strawberries are involved in the creation of this jam because, quite frankly, strawberries get enough love. That’s not why, people! We love strawberries just as much as the next person, but sometimes you need to showcase other berries. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are all excellent sources of vitamin and other antioxidants. These berries are also low in sugar, making them great to enjoy if you follow the ketogenic diet.

Although you wouldn’t have a flavorful jam without the berries, the jam wouldn’t be jammy without the chia seeds. You need these seeds, which bloom in the presence of liquid to create a thick consistency that is similar to jarred jams you know and love. Plus, chia seeds are excellent sources of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, magnesium, and other impressive vitamins and minerals. Use this mixed berry jam as a condiment on raw ice cream or serve it with fresh fruit. After you finish cleansing, spread it on toast!

Delicious and nutritions is the name of the game for this homemade cranberry chia jam! Unlike other jarred jams that have preservatives and added sugars, this jam uses real fruit and other whole food ingredients. Combining the mashed cranberries with the chia seeds creates a jam that not only looks jammy, but also tastes wonderfully sweet and tangy. It is the perfect flavor of jam for the holidays, and a much healthier alternative to jams and preserves.

Cranberries are naturally rich in antioxidants, surpassing the antioxidant activity of other berries. These antioxidants help protect your cells from free radical damage, which reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, cranberries exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that work to alleviate inflammation in the body. Cranberries aren’t the only superfood ingredient in this jam, though. Without chia seeds, this jam wouldn’t be as jammy, nor would it have the same amount of nutrients.

Chia seeds contribute to the overall nutritional profile of this cranberry jam. These small seeds are exceptionally rich in fiber, whcih works to aid digestion, regulate bowel movements, and maintain a healthy weight. Chia seeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart function, brain health, and inflammation regulation. All of this is to say that this cranberry jam is as delicious as it is nutritious. It makes for a great addition to your holiday tables.

Fast and easy is the name of the game for this raspberry chia seed jam. Raspberries have are undeniably delicious, offering a uniquely sweet and tart flavor profile. The downside is that raspberries can mold quickly, especially if you purchase them from the farmer’s market. There’s nothing worse than spending good money on a small clamshell of raspberries, place them in your fridge, and see mold two days later.

The best way to quickly enjoy fresh berries is to make them into a jam! Yes, you can make raw vegan jam that is much healthier than store bought varieties. Most of the time, especially in the case of this recipe, homemade jam contains way less sugar than jarred jam. This is because fresh berries are naturally sweet. The only thing to keep in mind is that because you use fresh ingredients, you have to consume the jam much quicker. It will keep fresh in an airtight jar in the fridge for about 5-7 days.

This raspberry jam goes great on a variety of foods. If you make raw vegan yogurt, top it with some of this raspberry chia jam. If you really want to satisfy your sweet tooth, make some chocolate avocado pudding and top it with this jam; you can thank us later. You can also make this jam after you finish cleansing and use it on post-cleansing foods like whole wheat toast or yogurt.

Nectarines and peaches are some of the juiciest, sweetest, and fragrant fruits during their season. Get your hands on them in the summer months because that is when they are freshest. These stone fruit varieties are also quite versatile, going great in salads, smoothies, sorbets, fruit medleys, and jams. That’s right, folks, jams. Skip the strawberries and blackberries and grab some nectarines to make yourself a healthy raw vegan jam.

Typically, you have to cook sugar, fruit, and a few other ingredients to make jam. For this recipe, you just need a blender and the ingredients. Nectarines are inherently sweet and subtly tart, so this jam is not too dissimilar to apricot jam, if you’ve eat that before. They are also rich in water, which the chia seeds absorb to make a thick, jelly-like jam. It’s like a science experiment that involves very little effort or studying.

You can leave the skin on your nectarines because the skin contains extra nutrition, especially fiber. You may not even notice that the skin is in the jam if you have a high-speed blender. If you are worried about the pinkish color that the skin yields, you can peel the nectarines prior to blending. Lastly, and this is a disclaimer that everyone should know, make sure to pit the nectarines. The last thing you want is for the pits to end up in your blender.

Berries may be some of the best fruits you could ever consume. They are low in sugar (great for people on the keto diet) and rich in powerful antioxidants, which help to fight oxidative stress and boost the immune system. According to several studies, the flavonoids, known as anthocyanidins, may improve cognitive function as you age.

While there are different types of berries that grow around the world, seldom do people realize how they can incorporate them in various recipes. Although there is nothing wrong with adding berries to smoothies, pies, or eating them fresh out of the clamshell, many people fail to realize how to incorporate berries into other recipes. Making condiments, for example, is one of the best ways to use berries. The greatest thing about the recipes below is that they are raw, meaning you can eat them if you are cleansing.

Salad Dressings

In case you haven’t tried it yet, the combination of fresh berries and greens is a match made in flavor heaven. Blueberries with spinach, strawberries with romaine, raspberries and kale, we could go on all day. If the idea of crunching on lettuce with the vibrant sweetness of berries seems too foreign, combine the flavors another way by blending berries into your homemade salad dressings. For each of the below recipes, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. You can consume right away and store the rest in an airtight jar in the fridge for to 3-5 days.

Ingredients for Raspberry Dressing

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp. filtered water
• 1 tbsp. raw agave syrup
• ½ tsp. sea salt
• ground black pepper, to taste
• ½ cup fresh raspberries

Ingredients for Strawberry Dressing

• 5 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 tbsp. extra olive oil
• 1 tbsp. raw apple cider vinegar

Fruit Salsa

While you can’t eat chips during your cleanse, you can make raw fruit salsas to put on your raw tacos or to dip your bell pepper or celery sticks in. To avoid making your salsa taste like a weird smoothie, the key is to add herbs, spices, and some heat from jalapeno, habenero, or cayenne pepper. When making the following recipes, chop up all of the ingredients and combine them in a bowl. Serve immediately and consume within two days.

Ingredients for Blueberry Lime Salsa

• 1 cup fresh blueberries, chopped

Homemade Jam

Jams that you purchase at the grocery store typically contain preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, colors, and natural flavors that aren’t so natural. All you have to do is look at the labels to realize the horrible ingredients you are putting in your body. Why purchase jam at the store when you can easily make cleanse-approved raw jam at home? It’s so easy! All you have to do is blend all of the ingredients together and you’re good to go!

Ingredients for Raspberry Jam

• 1/2 lb. fresh raspberries
• 12 dates, pitted
• 1 tsp. lemon zest
