Peanut butter and raspberry chia jam parfaits (vegan, GF)

March 15, 2018 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Whenever I make something so simple as this dessert, I always have second thoughts if I should put it on the blog or not as you might think it’s too simple to even call it a recipe! But than again I think how amazing it tastes and it’s also healthy and good for you so I usually decide to put it here as I want to you to enjoy it too. And anyway those of you who are following me here in my little corner of internet know already that I’m not a kind of food blogger who makes ‘stunning multi-layers complicated to make’ cakes and desserts. I’m all for simplicity, easy desserts with few ingredients, made with healthier ingredients, the ones that basically anyone can do! So for all those reasons I am sharing these delicious and creamy Peanut butter and raspberry chia jam parfaits with you today!

Are you a fan of peanut butter and jam combination? Honestly in Croatia or any other countries that I lived in it’s not nearly such a popular combination like in the US and for a long time I never even tasted it as I thought it’s something that I won’t really like. Also it seemed a bit unhealthy and overloaded with calories and sugar, specially in a form of a sandwich so that was also a no-no in my book. So what changed you may think?! Well, when I changed the way I eat about 4 years ago and started paying attention to ingredients I use and making sure I eat real wholesome food and not processed food with huge amount of sugar and all other weird and un-healthy stuff, one of the things I introduced into my diet were nut butters.

As I stopped eating butter, cream, milk and most of the dairy products (I still eat hard cheeses and cannot give up on that as I love cheese so much and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that!), I was looking for something creamy and delicious that could be a kind of a butter replacement and than I discovered the wonderful world of nut and seeds butters! 😀 I’m talking tahini (probably my favourite!), almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter and so on… Those creamy spreads are so amazing and full of healthy fat but it’s very important to buy only the ones that are made with 100% nuts or seeds and no added sugar, salt, palm oil etc. If you buy the ones that have all those nasty stuff, than they are definitely not good for you anymore. Another thing that is important is the quantity, even if they ARE healthy, they are also very rich in calories so a small quantity goes a long way!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish y Here are some photos from Plitvice lakes to wish you all a good week! ☺️❄️❄️❄️ If you (like myself) are getting really tired of all this pandemic situation and limitations it has put on our life and freedom, try just focusing on today, taking it one step at a time and look for comfort and hope in nature whenever you can. It has always been my wish to live closer to nature and now I'm longing for it more than ever before...

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
