You thought eating strawberry jam on the ketogenic diet is not possible?
Not with this delicious sugar-free strawberry jam, because one tablespoon of our keto strawberry jam only has 1.3g net carbs compared to 8g net carbs in most regular supermarket strawberry jam!
And you don’t need a lot of ingredients or a lot of time – only 3 ingredients and 30 minutes are needed to make your sugar-free keto strawberry jam!

KETO STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM INGREDIENTS:
This section is where I share a few suggestions and explanations for the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card embedded below this section).
I prefer to use frozen strawberries.
Frozen produce is usually richer in micronutrients than fresh produce because it gets harvested at the peak of their ripeness whereas fresh produce gets picked earlier to avoid spoiling the food in transit.
Plus: It’s available all year round!
Why erythritol?
In my opinion, erythritol is the best keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation), I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Keep that ratio in mind when using a 1:1 sugar replacement.
HOW TO MAKE THE KETO STRAWBERRY CHIA JAM:
Place the strawberries and erythritol in a small saucepan and let them simmer over low-medium heat for about 30 minutes, until they have completely broken down and you can no longer identify individual fruits.
(Optional)
If you'd rather have a chunk-free strawberry jam, puree the cooked strawberries with an immersion blender before moving on to the next step.
Add the chia seeds to the cooked strawberries and stir thoroughly.
Let the chia seeds sit for a few minutes and stir again.
Fill the jam into small preserving jars and let it sit for at least 30 more minutes before enjoying it.
Let the jam cool completely before enjoying it.
Store your low carb strawberry jam in an airtight container in your fridge and consume within a week.

Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
