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!

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! ❤️
