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!

Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so every day I've been drinking lemonade made with organic lemons from my parents' garden and sweetened with honey. What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨

When I think of my happy place, I visualize this.. When I think of my happy place, I visualize this... mountains, nature, snow in winter, green meadows and forests in summer, house like this (it can be smaller I’m ok with that 😅), fireplace... How about you, how does a happy place from your imagination looks like? 
Reality is nice and cozy too, going to have a slice of cake and a glass of milk now and watch a movie. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone! 🤗

Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 T Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 Today it was a beautiful cold and sunny morning, a long walk in the park with a friend talking about life. There is something that I noticed about myself lately, a shift within me, a change in a way I live and feel. The more I focus my gratitude on small moments, the more I feel at peace. The more I accept that not everything happens the way I would want to, the more I’m happy with what I have. Two years ago when life circumstances were actually much better for me in terms of work, socializing, opportunities for fun and travel, I was fighting depression, horrible anxiety, panic attacks, PTSP... Today when life is more challenging on every level, I feel more like myself again, stronger and hopeful. Sure bad day happens but that’s normal and that’s ok. It only shows how much we can do for ourselves with hard work, therapy, introspection, taking small steps each day... Sharing this in case somebody needs a bit of encouragement.❤️

Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m down: thick rich dark hot chocolate, good music, candles, writing down in my journal dreams - big and small, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the moment... 😊 One thing that I’m grateful for is that no matter how difficult the circumstances, I can always daydream and imagine beautiful exciting things, places and experiences. Sometimes all we need is a bit of hope and imagination...✨
