Coconut Surprise

The best kind of surprise, right?? ๐Ÿ™‚

Howโ€™s your day going? Hope itโ€™s been lovely. I actually had no one show up for my am class today! The past 2 weeks have been pretty decent (considering itโ€™s brand new!) but still working on getting the word out. Instead, I choreographed for an hour and took it as a sign that I can practice yoga today- Iโ€™m committed to bringing it back into my schedule this week.

On the way home, I made a little stop at Whole Paycheck for kale and other produce that TJs doesnโ€™t have.

2 things:

1. I forgot the kale (WF has a knack for distracting me!), and

2. COCONUT ICE CREAM!

plan

I havenโ€™t been following my detox meal plan (because it kinda sucks, haha), but when I saw coconut milk ice cream on there for day 11 as a little treat, I was happy to oblige. Thursday night Iโ€™ll be cuddling up with my pint oโ€™ bliss ๐Ÿ™‚

When I was perusing the plan, I also noticed that Iโ€™m not *supposed* to add back in nuts until Day 20 (Iโ€™m on day 9 and Iโ€™ve had two amazeballz today already. Oops). Guess the nuts are going to have to wait a little longer :/

Todayโ€™s afternoon munch was kind of fun:

quinoa

Roasted organic tomatoes:

Topped with red quinoa, caramelized onions, garlic, and arugula

(Cooked in coconut oil)

Red pepper flakes, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper

quinoa (2)

Deeeelish.

Itโ€™s a little cold and stormy here today in T-town โ€“ to all of you who are supposed to get crazy snow, be careful and stay warm!

Iโ€™m off to celebrate with my bro and then head to yogaaaaaa.

Fun dinner planned, too ๐Ÿ˜€

beets

Enjoy the rest of your day and Iโ€™ll see your beautiful faces later! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am right there with you on no-shows for class. Last night was to be my big teaching debut, 2 classes in a row, but due to bad weather and the classes being new to the schedule, not a single person showed! Maybe a blessing in disguise since I’m getting over the flu, but still, I had a small case of the Zumba blue balls. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Here’s hoping for better luck tonight!

    SO wish I could come to Dance Trance. I woulda been your one lonely student if I could’ve been!

    Both the beets burgers and your afternoon munch look delish. I will have to use them recipes sometime soon ๐Ÿ™‚

    Off topic…i’m new to your blog and loving it : ) I’ve been going through it…can I make cookie dough cereal without the protein powder? I haven’t bought any yet…what should I add in? Thanks : )

      welcome to the little blog ๐Ÿ™‚ you can skip the protein powder and just use almond butter- it will still taste delicious ๐Ÿ™‚
