This jam is definitely on the sweeter side—perfect for toast, yogurt, pancakes, and more! 😃
How to Enjoy It in a Healthier Way
1️⃣ Pair with Protein & Healthy Fats
Greek yogurt + a spoonful → Adds protein & probiotics.
Almonds or walnuts + a bit of jam → Balances sugar with healthy fats.
2️⃣ Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods
Spread on whole grain bread → Helps control blood sugar better than white bread.
Mix a small amount into oatmeal → Adds sweetness without overdoing it.
3️⃣ Cut Down on Added Sugar
Pair with fresh fruit (bananas, blueberries) → Extra sweetness without more sugar.
Add a splash of lemon juice or cinnamon → Enhances flavor naturally.
4️⃣ Control Portion Sizes
Instead of using a full tbsp (12g sugar), try 1/2–1 tsp (2–5g sugar) to keep sugar intake in check!
Final Thoughts?
Yeah… I get it. Just throw it on yogurt or spread it on toast and call it a day. 😂
