Calories: 28kcal
- 2 cup frozen fruit
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional: omit for babies)
Add fruit, water, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat and let simmer 5-7 minutes. You want the fruit to be mostly broken down.
Use an immersion blender, potato masher, or fork to break up any fruit chunks.
Stir in chia seeds and sweetener (if using). Let sit ~10 minutes until the chia has absorbed most of the liquid.
Transfer to a mason jar or storage container and store in the fridge.
