[Raw] Taco Tuesday
Hey guys! How are you??
Iโm bueno over here- already feeling this morningโs yoga class! My friend Kristen lead a BEAUTIFUL practice and has the magic touch- at one point she was sitting on my back, massaging my shoulders and gently pushed me all the way down. Crazy!
After class, I had some banana soft serve/chocolate cherry bomb/ protein pudding/ foodgasm in a bowl:
-1 frozen banana
-1 C frozen organic cherries
-1 T cacao powder
-1 t spirulina
-Stevia, vanilla
-1 scoop Sun Warrior
TOTALLY like ice cream and totally raw! Ballerrrr.
After my snack, I got to biznazz on the first part of the raw tacos: the shell
Raw Taco Shells
Makes 4-ish
-1 bag of organic corn, thawed
-Drain the corn and try not to shudder (I hate corn, but love corn tortillas)
In the Vitamix, add said corn, 1/4 sweet onion, 2 T ground flax, 1 t cumin, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 t sea salt and blend.
Plop the mixture onto a Teflexx sheet (or on parchment paper on a cookie sheet if you donโt have a dehydrator)
Using the back of a chefโs knife, or a pastry spreader, smooth out the mixture until itโs an even thickness.
If anything, it should be thicker on the sides, as they dehydrate more quickly than the center.
Dehydrate at 115* for 4 hours, flip and dehydrate overnight. (Oven chickas, bake at lowest setting with the door ajar for an hour or so, flip and repeat)
Taco filling recipe coming tomorrow
I packed up dinner to take to work:
A salad beast with arugula, spinach, raw beets, raw goat cheddar, basil, grape tomatoes, Italian seasoning and Garlic Gold with balsamic on the side.
Iโm now happily stuffing my faceโฆand trying to remove the balsamic I flung onto the netbook 
Please watch Glee for me- Iโm gonna miss it tonight 
Have a lovely evening and Iโll see ya tomorrow with taco meat filling and the second week of Bridal Bootcamp!
xoxo
Gina
Todayโs tip: At your next fitness class, make a point to say โHiโ to two new people. Pay them a compliment (love your Power Y tank!) or ask them how long theyโve been taking the class. You may meet some new fit-minded friends

Looove raw taco fillings. Havenโt made my own raw tortillas yet, I usually just make it more of a taco salad thing.
I just got an Excalibur dehydrator, and Iโve been dying to try new recipes with it! Thanks for sharing the taco recipeโ I canโt wait to try it!! ๐
Love the tip for meeting new โfitโ friends, too. Moving to Los Angeles was really isolating for me, and I found that taking group exercise classes really helped me meet new people!
I love your big raw salad beast โ although I donโt know if I could eat raw beetsโฆ
Bella looks so tiny and sweet in that pic. I took a walk yesterday and met a pug named Bella ๐
I didnโt even know you could make raw tacos! LOL! ๐
They look delish โ thanks!
Love that your tortillas do not include nuts,seeds,or fat!! too many include that so being raw can get fat-heavy LOL I have an idea for raw sweet potato crackers with red pepperโฆand spice..must try it I love raw sweet potato chips yumyum. I am so pissed I lost my ani phyo book somewhere in my house LOL
Wow!! I didnโt know you could make raw taco shells either!! Canโt wait to see the filling โ I havenโt done much experimenting with raw recipes but youโre making it look easy!
Great tip! We just talked about reciprocity and the social aspects of group fit in one of our meetings and it sure makes for a different experience. Plus itโs a great way to meet friends and potential workout buddies!
Great fitness tip! I always joke to my friends that Iโm going to meet my future husband at the gymnโI just need to actually say hi to a guy!
I love the lighting in the picture of the salad and pumpkin! So pretty!
I love todayโs tip. Iโm really bad at talking to people I donโt know. I always think it would be nice to make a friend at the gym, but I never talk to anyone. It probably doesnโt help that I spend my entire time there with my ear buds in!
Iโm the opposite- i really enjoy fresh corn but haaaaate corn tortillas! I always have to ask for flour at Mexican restaurants. Kind of crazy how the tastes are so distinct and so different, but from the same plantโฆ
i have to laugh at your comment about removing balsamic from your computerโฆi am sitting here eating a salad beast whilst reading blogsโฆi think my computer grosses out the husband because of all the smears and splotches. i try to keep it clean, but itโs rather a lost cause!
the raw tortillas sound awesome!
Oooh it is so gross but my computer is covered in food splotches. YUCK.
I donโt know whyโฆ but its so hard for me to talk to people I donโt know.. (ie the people I see in classes). I need to be brave ! โฆ I mean, you know you already have one thing in common ๐
Yum!!! I love making raw ice-cream like creations! I think you would love thise one I made Ginaโฆ.I made it for friends recently and they loved it. So ice-creamy!!

Hope you get a chance to check it out ๐
I need to stop being so shy and just say hi to people at the gym! Itโs so weird โ Iโm pretty outgoing in most situations, but at the gym, I clam up. I think Iโm scared that people are to be so โintoโ their workout that they wonโt want to chat with meโฆ I neeeeed to get over it.
Love your tip about saying hi to people at the gym! Iโve started reaching out, especially since I see the exact same group of people in every group fitness class. Youโre all fit, like-minded peopleโitโs the perfect setting for making new friends!
I just bought some goat cheddar and Iโm stoked to try it.
Are frozen vegetables considered raw? I thought they blanched them before freezing.
theyโre not technically raw, but the processing they go through doesnโt kill all of the enzymes- a lot of raw foodists use frozen veg for convenience sake
Awesome! Thatโs good to know.
I know itโs almost been an entire week, but I finally got around to trying the Bridal Bootcamp first workout today. It was fabulous! Great arm work out! Thanks so much โ canโt wait for #2!
Glad youโre beuno! Love your friendly tip โ nice reminder. ๐
I think your tip for the day is such a good idea. Itโs easy to get caught up in just taking the class, I think I often forget to say hi!
i love that tip! you never know how being friendly will encourage other people to keep coming and working out ๐
Love the tip Gina ๐
Oh those shellsโฆwhat great work on those!
And the filling, cant wait! Yum!
Love your last tipโฆand I think it extends in LIFE! I mean, there are some people out there who are so stingy with compliments towards others youโd think that it cost them something to be nice or complimentary! I never lie but I find that there is always SOMETHING nice I can say to someone to either make them feel better if i sense their day is going a little rough or to help break the ice in new situations. โI like your purse, hair, jeans, your earrings, etcโ can go a very long way. Very.
Great tip!
๐
Look at all those raw eats, Gina! Yum! Great tip of the day. Weโre so rushed so much of the time and it really pays to pay attention and be friendly to the people around us:)
I had never even heard of a dehydrator until I started reading your blog! Is it expensive?
nope like 200? ive had it for 2 years and it was a great investment
Hope you get to see last nightโs Glee at some point! It was a fun one. Plus it addressed body insecurity in guys. Interesante. ๐
Hi Gina, I really have been enjoying your Blog! I discovered it about a year ago.
I wondered if you could give me some info?
I am in Tampa and recently discovered there is a Lululemon warehouse nearby. Is this open to the public? Can I just walk in and buy something. ๐
Thanks for reading!
hey judy!
iโm not sure :/ i know they have a showroom in tampa- itโs open thur, fri and sat ๐
raw homemade tortilla, amazing. I really really hope i get a dehydrator for Christmas this year so i can make those, kale chips, and โroons! (unless you want to send me some *wink.wink* ) lol
Iโm good at paying compliments especially on outfits because itโs easy to be genuine, but I usually leave it at because people usually go back to whatever they are doing or whoever they were talking to before. Itโs hard for me since too since Iโve been unemployed for two years in Feb. Thanks for the tip to further engage, I should try to be a little more inquisitive even if people dont immediately open when I make an initial gesture, as in with a compliment. Of course, I live in NYC where itโs fiercely competitive and cut-throat and people arent here to be your friend necessarily.
Gina, Yes, showroom NOT warehouse duh! Maybe I can ask them on their FB page.
Thanks!!
Haha my computer is always totally splattered with salad dressing/oatmeal/other random foods.
Love the fitness tip! If Iโm going to be spending so much time at the gym, I might as well have friends there.
Yum! Raw tacoโฆrawco? haha
