1/4 cup water (free!)
1/2 cup firmly packed, chopped pitted dates ($2.00, but totally worth it)
2 Tablespoons chia seeds ($.20)
2 cups raspberries ($1.50)
A teaspoon of any sweetener of your choice ($.05-$.15)
1 7500 Next Generation Vitamix Blender ($529)
First, toss the water, sweetener and dates into your 7500 Next Generation Vitamix Blender and whip ‘em up. Next up, add the chia seeds, the raspberries and do the same and pour it into a Mason jar. You’re going to want to let the fresh jam refrigerate overnight, which gives you just enough time to commit petty crimes under the cover of darkness, making just enough to pay the credit card bill on that Vitamix. Come morning, slap that fresh jam on some whole grain toast.
