Our farmer's market finds this week: baskets of fresh blackberries that are irresistibly delicious.

And with this many blackberries, we give you a recipe with blackberries 2 ways.

First in a fresh blackberry jam and second in smoothie form (of course).

The secret to making the best blackberry jam?

Fresh blackberries and THAT'S IT. No added sugar. No syrups. Just mashed berries perfect for being sipped up at the bottom of your mason jar.

This layered smoothie includes homemade protein chia pudding for an extra boost of superfoods and 21g of plant-based protein.

Add one last layer of blackberry smoothie before going crazy with the toppings, and by crazy, a dollop of coconut yogurt, granola, and extra blackberries should do just the trick.

Now, we love the look of a layered smoothie, but mixing it all up is the best way to enjoy it.

Think blackberry chia jam smoothie all in one.
