Collagen Chia Jam Recipe – A Quick & Healthy Jam in Just 15 Minutes

Looking for a delicious, healthy jam that's packed with flavor and beauty-boosting benefits? Say hello to our Collagen Raspberry Chia Jam! Made with simple, wholesome ingredients — and supercharged with Essa Collagen Powder — this jam is the perfect way to nourish your body from the inside out.

Whether you’re spreading it on toast, swirling it into yogurt, or adding a dollop to your smoothie bowl, this easy recipe will become a staple in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

  • 500g frozen raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 scoops (24g) Essa Collagen Powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 whole star anise (optional, for a hint of warm spice)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, add the frozen raspberries. Stir occasionally until they break down and release their juices — about 5-8 minutes.
  2. Once the raspberries are soft and bubbling, stir in the cinnamon and star anise (if using). Allow the mixture to simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
     Remove from heat, discard the star anise if added, and let it cool slightly before stirring in the Essa Collagen Powder. (Collagen is heat-sensitive, so cooler temperatures are best.)
  3. Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly. The seeds will naturally start to thicken the jam as it cools.
  4. Using a hand blender, carefully blend the jam until it reaches your desired consistency — smooth or slightly textured, depending on your preference.
  5. Transfer the jam to a clean jar or container. Let it cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid and thicken the jam beautifully.
  6. Your Collagen Raspberry Chia Jam is ready! Store in the fridge for up to one week.
