It doesn’t get easier, or more delicious, than this simple, delightful snack. Chia seeds and berries add fiber to these healthy frozen bites. Chocolate and honey provides a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries. My mouth waters just looking at these tasty freezer berry bites. Chia seeds are so versatile in the kitchen, and they are an easy way to add nutrition to a dessert recipe.

Chia seeds are a powerhouse seed and offer a variety of health benefits due to their rich nutrient profile. They are a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and various minerals and antioxidants. These nutrients play a role in supporting multiple body functions and systems such as improving digestive health, lowering blood pressure and improving blood sugar control.

Just 2 tablespoons of Chia Seeds has:

64% more potassium than a banana
32% of your daily magnesium
5 x more calcium than milk
41% of your daily fiber
3 x more iron than spinach
2 x the antioxidants than blueberries
100% more omega-3 than salmon

Chia seeds don’t taste like much, so they take on the flavors of whatever they are mixed with. I love how juicy berries and crunchy chia seeds come together to form an antioxidant- and fiber-rich “jam” that becomes the center of these bites. Velvety chocolate enrobes each small mound of jam to create a melt-in-your-mouth experience that pops with bright, fruity and rich chocolatey flavors.

They are a healthy snack or the perfect ending to a healthy dinner or a great healthy alternative to candy and will be your new go-to snack! Its perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a sweet treat without compromising on your nutritional goals.

Servings 10

Ingredients

• 2 cups any berries (fresh or frozen), raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or cherries
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 scoop protein or collagen peptides powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

• Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or aluminium foil.

  First make the filling: place the berries, chia seeds and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Gently cook for 6-7 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and jam like. Squish them down slightly with a spoon.

  At this point, the chia will have absorbed all the liquid. You are looking for a chia-pudding-like consistency. If it appears too dry, add more water and cook. If it's too watery add 1 tablespoon more chia seeds and cook for a further 2 minutes.

  Stir in the lemon juice. Taste test and add more honey if necessary. Add the protein powder and mix in thoroughly.

  Spoon 10 (more or less) 2-inch discs of the jam onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Chocolate Coating

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Dip the frozen jam discs in the melted chocolate using two forks to hold each one, and one by one, dip into the melted chocolate. Roll around until fully coated, then place back on the parchment lined tray.

  Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. 

  Return to the freezer for 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.

  Let them thaw for 5 minutes before eating so the center gets soft and jammy!
