Hiiii 
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far <3 HOLY ALMOND BUTTER! Keep those entries comin’- winner will be announced tomorrow AM.
This morning, the pilot had his first chocolate cherry bomb.
I was kind of nervous that he wouldn’t like it, and the pressure was on because he said I would be facing extreme smoothie judgment.
The verdict?
He LOVED it.
Next, I asked him to try my smoothie (berries, banana, almond milk, Sun Warrior, raw cacao powder and spirulina) and when he made a face, I told him there was algae (spirulina) in it.
His response: “You crossed the line.”
Hahaha.
We got on the road to JACKSONVILLE this morning! 
Ahhhhh! I <3 civilization
We stopped at Turtle Island for lunch- it’s right by the resort and they have an awesome vegetarian/vegan selection.
Check out the foodgasmic dessert case:
I got the wrap of my dreams:
Roasted veg, kalamata olives and goat cheese on a whole wheat wrap
The pilot rolled with chicken and avocado:
We shared some sweet potato fries:
and made some birdie friends 
(Ps. Birds look so much like DINOSAURS. For that, I don’t ever really trust them)
Steaz for me, burr for him:
Under the cap:
You can bet your booty I am
We checked into our room at that one place we love (You can read about our last visits *here* and *here*)
View:
Lurve.
Off to the beach, yoga, shopping and Melting Pot. It’s gonna be a good night
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Sounds like you have a fun day in store. Enjoy!!
have fun!!!!
i ordered three bags of sun warrior (i have been searching for a good vegan protein and tried some reallllly bad ones. i was taking your word and went all out. ha!). good thing becuase i LOOOOOOOOOOVE it! i threw away the remains of the one i was using and am dreaming up smoothies in my head (as i eat one now!).
How could he NOT like the Cherry Chocolate Bomb? It’s amazing!!
I’ve been making my husband green smoothies lately, but he won’t go near Spirulina either! And I have to add extra fruit, so he doesn’t even taste a “hint” of green! Ha ha.
I live in Jacksonville. We should have done a blog meet up for lunch. Is turtle Island restraunt out at the beach? I haven’t heard of it before.
i would have planned a meet-up, but we’re only here for one night! let me know if you want to meet for yoga in the morning!
hope you have a fun time in jacksonville!! I had a question about strength training, I have been lifting weights for the past 3 months and started with 4# weights now am up to 8# weights, and last night after lifting that morning I was up all night with DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and I was wondering what I can do to prevent that, and if it does happen again how to help lessen the pain? I have been stretching..but what stretches do you thin are best? thank you so much!
Too funny about birds looking like dinosaurs. Enjoy your Saturday with the Pilot.
What a fun Saturday! Love his reaction to the spirulina. I’ve had some similar encounters with my fiance.
How can anyone NOT love Cherry Bombs! The resort looks fab. Enjoy some quality time with the hubby!
Yeah, that spirulina may have been pushing it, haha.
Enjoy your day! It looks like you’ll be having fun
i hope you have so much fun! that view is AHHHMAZING! and i would LOVE to be at the beach right this second!
i made a chocolate cherry bomb for my boyfriend and he HATED it.. haha he’s not too good about trying new things though
Have fun with the pilot!!!!
The pilot’s reaction is so funny. People say I cross the line when I put spinach in my smoothies.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!! The place you’re at looks amazing
p.s. i love how restaurants wrap their wraps, I never know how to do it that way! mine always ends up falling apart
Hahah nice! Glad the pilot loved the chocolate cherry bomb, who wouldn’t!? I even sneak spinach in mine. =P Have a great night in Jacksonville!
Have tons of fun on your little vacay! I haven’t met anyone who didn’t like the Cherry Bomb! Take care!
I think I would have kept the Spirulina quiet, most likely I would have sprung it on him after he ate it. I have a few buddies that could care less what’s in the junk food they eat, but if it’s something healthy they’ll be asking. Thankfully they stopped doing that with me. Although I feed them healthy meals, it tastes good too.
Aren’t the birds cute, they sort of look like sparrows. I know, they’re plain and very common (depending on the area you live) but I think they’re adorable.
Whoa those sweet potato fries look increds! Almost as incredible as the pilot’s expression. priceless. You guys have fun at that beautiful beach
LOVE the Melting Pot! Have some yummy fondue!
what a fun trip! i so wish that we had a cool place like that to go for quick trips
can’t wait for you to go to melting pot 
Ohhh the Melting Pot is heavenly!! Enjoy your hubby time!
Your wrap looks do die for! Enjoy civilization:)
hahah that always happens to me- I get my family to try something like tofu and then I get all excited and try to follow up with vegan cheese and then I know I’m pushing it…
Enjoy your night!
That wrap looks a-mazing! Things just taste better on a wrap!
Haha, the pilot is hilarious. Have fun!
I don`t usually comment, though I`m a regular reader (except when youre giving away AB coupons ;D), but I thought I was the only one who thinks birds look like dinosaurs!!! Fugetabout lizards – its the birds!!
Those sweet tater fries look perfect – crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. Diess
izzyy
xoxx
Wow it’s actually baked sweet potato’s and not fried fry’s. Looks like a really good lunch.
What a wonderful start to the day already!
Dear lord those sweet potato fries need to come to my house for a slumber party!! Haha.
Enjoy date night with the pilot!
Sounds like a great weekend! Your posts always make me so hungry! Good thing the boy’s in the kitchen making dinner…
have a great time there! it looks so beautiful!
That wrap is nuts! It looks so good. Mmmm..
Glad you got him on the chocolate cherry bomb wagon!
you’re gonna hate me when i tell you that birds are decedents of dinosaurs. hahaha!
and those sweet potato fries look awesome! they’re such big pieces!
Your pictures are making me need another beach fix. When you wrote “You crossed the line” I automatically thought the Florida state line! Have a great weekend.
Those sweet potato fries look really good and deserts….look the best.
I go to Flagler College in St. Augustine, a quick 30 minute drive south:):) well have to go to yoga next time your around! (confession time: I have never gone to a class before, kinda scared to go by myself, but i have done tons of dvds though) Have an awesome time on your quick vacation!
That college is so beautiful’
I love the pilot’s reaction to your smoothie! And I’m agreed with the other comments. No one could dislike the CC Bomb!!!
Kalmata olives make me drool:) Hope you and the pilot have a fabulous getaway!
Hehe, the bird comment.
I made my first chocolate cherry bomb two days ago.
Awww Jacksonville! I lived there until I was 8
Have a fabulous little vacation!
I love the Melting Pot. The resort looks gorgeous, I hope you guys have fun!
Also a question about spirulina: I’ve had it in one of those Odwalla juices before and didn’t really taste anything strange. If I add it to a smoothie myself, does it have a distinct taste?
thank you!
it has an interesting taste but i think the pilot wouldn’t have noticed if i wouldn’t have told him
i love spirulina in smoothies! Pilot, try it lol! Jackonsville looks absolutely gorg and i am so jealous you are going to the melting pot.
I love the scallops, salmon, and shrimp entree with the vegetable buillion! Perfecto.
i neeeed some cherries in my life!! i just threw a bfast cookie together..cant wait for morningg
Haha that face is classic! Your lunch looks so yummy! I love when restaurants have great vegetarian and vegan selections! It doesn’t happen often enough!
Oh I love that you guys are able to have this beautiful weekend time together! You need it, deserve it, and are doing it
YAY for that!!!
Love the beach shot and of course, hope you get in some lovely yoga…and shopping!!!
xoxo
Glad he liked the smoothie! I don’t see why he wouldn’t it’s all tasty stuff
Haha birds are descendents of dinosaurs! That’s why they’re so creepy!
What a fantastic day! Love the Steaz message. Gotta put a smile on your face:) Hope you have a wonderful time!
OMG, those sweet potato fries look sooooo good! That view is amazing! Enjoy your weekend!
Aww the pilot’s the cutest! I love how he participates in your healthy lifestyle
You’re gonna have so much fun!! I get so jealous of people who live in warmer cities – I would love to pack it up and go to the beach for a night, you lucky lucky girl you (:
AB on oatmeal!!
That photo of the view is amazing…I get a rushing sensation of space when I look at it, and I feel like I could step right through it. Nice job!
