Instead of this
- GL 7 per 100 g Much lower glycemic impact than strawberry jam (GI 35 vs 65; GL 7 vs 42 per 100g), making it a realistic jam-style swap.
Cranberry chia jam (no added sugar) - GL 3 per 100 g Provides a far steadier glucose response (GI 30 vs 65; GL 3 vs 42 per 100g) and is a plausible topping/spread alternative to jam.
Blended berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) - GL 18 per 100 g Still meaningfully lower glycemic load than strawberry jam (GL 18 vs 42 per 100g) while remaining a realistic fruit-spread option.
Fruit spread (100% fruit, no added sugar) - GL 1 per 100 g Very low glycemic effect (GI 20; GL 1 per 100g) and could plausibly replace jam as a sweet component in a meal.
