Vanilla chia pudding & cherry smoothie jar (vegan, GF)

February 14, 2017 By travellingoven 4 Comments

How about Vanilla chia pudding and cherry smoothie jar for this Valentine’s Day?! 😀

Honestly, I’ve never really celebrated Valentine’s Day as I don’t like the commercial side of it but I’m always for spreading and sharing love, any day so why not also today! It can be a little sweet gesture or treat to your partner, a family member, a friend, yourself or even a total stranger that you can gift with a smile and kindness. Above all, little things are the important things! I know that internet is today full of beautiful decadent chocolate cakes and chocolate hearts filled with strawberries. Therefore, Vanilla chia pudding & cherry smoothie jar is a bit more modest and simple but still a lovely way to treat yourself or somebody you love! 🙂

This jar is perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert, it’s light, refreshing, mildly sweet from cherries, banana and a little bit of maple syrup and absolutely delicious! It’s also in my favourite purple colour so that makes everything even better! 😀

Pamper yourself…

Talking about Valentine’s, do you have any special plans for today, like going out for dinner with your loved one or preparing a special meal? Beacuse you know how they say that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”? Well, that can apply for ladies too haha! What can be better than if your man makes an effort to prepare a special meal for his lady!? Hopefully at least some of you ladies are lucky enough to be pampered a bit because you definitely deserve it! However, if for any reason that is not happening, then ladies why not treating yourself with something that feels good, like a nice bath in the evening, some cozy time snuggled on your sofa with a good book and cup of tea, a delicious dinner and this purple, refreshing little jar for dessert! 🙂

In conclusion, whatever you will be doing today, something a little bit special or having just an ordinary day, remember to treat yourself from time to time and enjoy the little things that mean so much for our bodies and our hearts. Hopefully your every day is filled with love, laughter, positive thoughts and smiles on your faces!

    mmm, this sounds like it’d be such a treat for breakfast! it’s such a feast for the eyes with that color. only thing that would make it better is a bit of chocolate shavings on top in addition to the cocoa nibs (;

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡

When you have your own business there are times wh When you have your own business there are times when you don’t have weekends, you don’t have days off, no holidays, when you need to keep going even if you’re going through something difficult and just want to stay in bed… And it’s not always easy. There are also times, specially in the first years, when you don’t know if you are going to make it, if you will earn enough to support yourself, if you will be ‘good enough’… But I wouldn’t change all that for anything because doing what you love is incredibly rewarding and I love photography with all my heart and soul. 
It saved me more than once. It keeps saving me, helps me express myself and what I feel, it gave me back my confidence and a purpose when I nearly lost it. It was the best decision of my life (well, the one of getting a divorce and get out of a really bad marriage is there somewhere too 😅) to take that new path in my late 30s and start all over again… It’s never too late. ❤️
