    Raspberries would be even better. I think that strawberries get too waterey.
    Would you try kiwi. I think that mashed kiwi make a good jam.

    i think that would all be a little watery eh? As much as a PB&J smoothie sounds delicious, I don't think it would stay on the bread :)

    I must ponder on this....

    You could always stick it in the dehydrator if it's watery, then stir it every once and a while to make it more concentrated.

    Don't know if this has been suggested yet, but the trick is to first dry (if you have a dehydrator) or use dried fruit, reconstitute it, and blend with the most minimal amount of water possible. You can use it right away or chill it to thicken it even more. It's because when you reconstitute a fruit or vegetable it will soften enough to blend, but not retain nearly as much water as fresh.

    This can be used for pie fillings as well :)
    Try this trick with: mangoes, apples, pineapples, cherries, cranberries, strawberries, etc
    Enjoy!

    How about grinding the chia seeds (or flax seeds) first, and then allowing that to gel up your mixture? Hmmm... need to try this. :)

    Yeah... i was telling my wife about the revelation of chia seeds and I was like "i just wonder if they would be too crunchy" Which she then smacked my head and said "grind them you idiot".

    Ah, what would us guys do without our better halves.
