Raspberry-Peach-Protein-Jars

I honestly didn't know what to call these works of art, but they are delicious and have many beautiful layers and I think I'm in love.  Why does putting something in a mason jar automatically make it better in my brain? I don't know but you should try these for yourself and tell me what you think! They look complicated but I promise they are really simple, and well worth your 15 minutes+30 seconds to Devour! Get your spoons ready….

I actually bought this Quinoa at TJ Maxx. Who woulda thunk?

Favorite Dairy Free Alternatives!

Some Home-grown-at-grandma's peaches!

These peaches were so juicy and fragrant! I love Fresh Peaches.

I love the color that this chia compote turned out to be!

Perfect texture….so creamy!

GLORIOUS.

I seriously can't handle how good these turned out! I ate mine warm but you can always put it in the fridge and wait until it's all cooled. The quinoa gives such a nice nutty flavor and the berries give a tang but it's still perfectly sweet and perfectly healthy! 

What you need

-2 tsp Coconut Sugar (seperated)

-1/3 C Quinoa

2/3 C+ 1/8C Almond Milk

1/3 C Coconut Milk

1 tsp Cinnamon

2 Tbls Chia seeds

2 Small Peaches (peeled)

1/2 C Raspeberries

1 Ripe Banana

1 Scoop Vegan Protein Powder

2 Tsp Maca Powder

a few drops of Stevia or half a packet of Truvia (sweetener)

For the Coconut Quinoa Base: Start by boiling the 2/3 Almond Milk and the Coconut Milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, add Quinoa and Cinnamon let simmer for 15 minutes. While this cooks make the other layers! When it's finished stir in 1 Tsp coconut sugar.

For the Compote: While that is cooking, put the Peaches and Raspberries in a saucepan and turn it onto about medium heat.

As they soften, mash them with a potato masher or a fork and stir while they continue to soften and break down, let them simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring every once in a while. Add the Chia seeds and 1 Tsp Coconut Sugar when it looks like the fruit is bubbly and pretty soft and mix them in well. 

For the Banana/Maca Protein Whip: Blend the banana, Maca Powder, Protein Powder, the Stevia sweetener and 1/8 C Almond milk together in a blender until it looks like a thick "Whip" or pudding. 

Layer the Quinoa Base, then the Compote, and lastly the Whip into two mason Jars. Try Not to lick the spoon EVERY time you put an ingredient into the jar…. :) 

Top with anything you want! I used more fresh raspberries and some organic shredded coconut. Mhmmmm.
