Healthy chocolate mousse (vegan, GF)

December 7, 2015 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

How was your weekend? I had a beautiful Saturday and spent most of my day outside enjoying the nature and gorgeous sunny weather in the mountains. The weather is actually too good as we really need some snow! This is a ski destination and tourists are not happy that we’ve been having this weather more appropriate for April than December. To be honest, I also want everything to be white and covered with snow, that’s how pre-Christmas and Christmas should be in the Alps! I will also have my family visiting from Croatia and I really, really want for them to experience the white Christmas, it’s kind of magical and fills your soul with peace. Mine at least! Ah that global warming, hopefully the snow will come soon…
And than my Sunday I spent all day working, baking and shooting Christmas cookies so stay tuned as those are making appearance soon! 🙂 Let me tell you straight away that those will be ‘real’ festive cookies, meaning with butter and sugar involved but Christmas is only once per year and we cannot eat healthy ALL the time, right? 😉 This month I’m mixing it up a bit here on the blog, as you know that most of the recipes I post are in the healthier category but you know that I also love my treats. It’s all about the balance and finding what works for you and your body.
So before we get to that butter-sugar part of the month, let’s have this healthy, sweet and so delicious chocolate mousse that is made with dates and entirely vegan, gluten and dairy-free.

Looks good, right? well, it tastes even better and you only need few ingredients to make this chocolate mousse. I bet nobody will know that it’s kind of healthy! 🙂

I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted t I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted to say hello! 😊 My Summer has been a combination of precious time with family and friends, swimming in the mornings on ‘my beach’ in Dubrovnik, some interesting shoots, ice creams and watermelon, mum’s delicious food, reading books on my favourite terrace in the world, laughing with my niece and nephew until my stomach hurts from laughter and many other ‘ordinary’ beautiful moments. Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️

Before I post on the blog a travel story from my t Before I post on the blog a travel story from my trip to Tuscany and its charming towns, here are some images from one of my favourite, San Quirico d’Orcia. I liked it even more because it was raining and the mood was just so special and beautiful! 
☺️🌧️
This trip was all about smaller towns so we didn’t even go to Florence on this occasion but we visited 12 towns in 5 days and I can’t wait to share with you my favourite photos from the trip! ❤️
