We all love a good PB&J right? Right. But in trying to clean up what I eat a bit I decided to check out the ingredients on the jelly I would buy…I was truly shocked. There tends to be an excess of added sugar, and just ingredients that aren’t needed in most pre-made jams or jellies. So what’d I do? Make it myself of course! With a little extra hit of fiber from the chia seeds.
