Still Going Strong
Hey everyone! How’s your humpday goin’?? Thank you so much for your sweet compliments on my four eyes. I still feel a little weird wearing them, but like Tim Gunn says, I’m making it work 😉
So, I received a funny comment a couple of days ago asking if almond butter and I had broken up.
The photographic proof that we’re still going strong:
In fact, we were just seen canoodling at the Ivy yesterday. I’m just sayin’ 😉
This morning, I had a glorious bowl of chia pudding to start the day.
Chia seeds, almond milk, Sun Warrior vanilla protein, lots of cinnamon and mesquite, and a sliced nanner.
Guess it was a good choice, because I met with a potential client who ended up buying a 24 pack. Sahweeeeet 😀
After that, I went to Publizzle and the health food store for goodies –Jeni is having girls night at her house tomorrow- and got some fun new things on top of the usual staples.
Coconut aminos (basically soy-free soy sauce, made with coconut sap!)
And this tea because it’s trendy right now 😉
I had a giant mug while I got to work on some un-cooked treats….
Raw pumpkin pie crusts
(in the dehydrator now and will be filled tomorrow)
and Raw Gingerbread cookie bites
The dough:
The balls (tee hee)
While I was making these, I decided not to look at the recipe I created for the so-so gingerbread cookies and start over again. They taste beautiful—much better than my first recipe test. I’m hoping the texture doesn’t change much in the dehydrator, and if they’re still light and fluffy in the morning, the recipe will be up tomorrow 😀
Well I’m off to make some lonchi, head back to work, weights with Jeni, pilates, Zumba, training appointment, then home!
See ya tonight <3
xoxo,
G

Everyone is blogging about that tea! I just might have to go get some and see what all it is about!
I can’t find that tea anywhere 🙁 I looked all over for it last year. If I ever get my hands on some, I am going to stock up!
I want some coconut aminos! Sounds delish!
Glad you and AB are still going strong 🙂
If you had a bakery I would order one of everything. Maybe two of everything. Every week.
Just sayin’….!
Can’t wait for that recipe! And I have to get some of that coconut aminos! Awesome!
Gina, can you please tell me where you got your shirt that you were wearing in yesterday’s post? I just love it!!
thanks erin! it’s from charlotte russe 😀
Sipping on some holiday tea now 🙂 You mention mesquite in a lot of post, assuming this is some sort of spice can you share more? I’m sure I missed that post. Thanks!
yes it’s a superfood. here’s some info:

Thanks! I was curious since I always like to try new things.
I am so jealous you found that tea, I can not find it anywhere!!!!
That coconut soy sauce looks awesome. Let us know how it is when you try it!
Just wondering, what is the difference between raw & regular almond butter?
looks great so far!
GINGERBREAD!! We’ve already had this conversation 😉
hahah yes we have..and if they’re good, i’m sending you a batch 😀
haha since today’s tip is blank i’m pretty sure that means you think we should do nothing all day. fineee. haha i keed. but those gingerbread balls look good enough to eat!
I wanna try that tea but I get freaked out about flavored teas… Did you love it? Haha.
I love the Coconut Aminos too! Let me know your thoughts on them.
Weights – Pilates and ZUMBA – you are so fit! Your dedication to fitness (I know it’s part of the job but still) is something I admire. I would love to teach a bootcamp/recess class eventually. How many hours a day do you typically train? How long did it take to get used to teaching? I really would love to hear about it.
Best,
Katie

Your raw treats always look so good!
LOL @ the balls 🙂
I tried the chia pudding and it is soooo good!!
24 pack of what? Sun Warrior protein or training sessions?!?! HAHAHA! I wasn’t sure?!
I can’t wait to see what you come up with for you gingerbread recipe! I made (high) raw vegan gingerbread cookie dough balls and dehydrated gingerbread cookies a few weeks back and I love ginger so can’t wait to see what you create! That’ll be the only good thing about going back home will be to get back to my Vita and my Excal and start trying out everyone’s holiday recipes 🙂
Ha nice giggle about the balls 😉
Coconut aminos? How does it taste?! I want some!
And I’ve been looking everywhere for sugar cookie sleigh ride and I can’t find it!!!
Coconut ‘soy’ sauce sounds better than regular soy sauce!
I’m a post behind, but you are so damn cute in glasses.
Almond butter and I are currently on a break. He was too clingy one night and I had way too much of him. I miss him, though, and can’t wait until I can tolerate him again.
Is that so wrong to personify a food? Oh well. I do it all the time.
Um, yes, that is the best tea evahhhh. Tastes like sugar cookies but better. Also acts as a perfect liquid in which one can dunk real cookies.
I hope you’re having a marvelous day, my friend! xoxoxo 🙂
Like so many other readers, am jealous that you found the tea. I CANNOT find it!! (And I think the fact that I can’t makes me want it more!!)
Oooh your raw treats looks so so so yummy!
Have you tried the candy cane flavor tea? AH-mazing.
Those cookies look absolutely fantastic…can’t wait to see how all of the dehydrator stuff turns out tomorrow!
I’ve been wanting to try that tea. It sounds lovely.
I love almond butter. Unfortunately, I just had a whole “food sensitivity” test done, and Almonds is one of the foods that I am moderately sensitive to. SO, I am substituting: cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, and natural peanut butter…I REALLY want to try to make walnut butter. I think that would be yummy!
Ahh I can’t wait for the recipe!!!
What kind of dehydrator do you have? I want to buy one but I haven’t done any research yet. Which one do you recommend?
i have the excalibur 9 tray and LOVE it
You are too cute with the almond butter!
Hey Gina,
I’ve been reading your blog and love it! My dad is a diabetic. Any suggestions on a good breakfast cookie for him? Thanks
hey christina,
what kinds of dietary restrictions does he have??
No diet restrictions necessarily. He does the occasional oatmeal in the morning and other things. I just want to get him to start eating a more filling breakfast that’s quick and easy since he’s always rushing.
I’ve been looking for that trendy tea! It’s nowhere! Apparently it’s been snatched up by all the bloggies!
You shame me with your workout schedule. LOL
My daughter was addicted to that tea last winter. This year she’s on to the Sugar Plum Spice. (I still like Vanilla Chai Tea.) I need some of those treats you’re whipping up.
i’ll bring you some 😀
the celestial seasonings gingerbread tea is fantastic as well!! 🙂
cant wait to see the recipe for the balls!! TWSS hehe
Mmmm! I bought the special holiday Gingerbread tea after I saw it here a while back. (I’ve seen it at Whole Foods and Harris Teeter around here).
I’m addicted to Trader Joe’s Raw AB and I ran out of it so I got desperate and picked up a jar of not-raw AB from Whole Food’s brand… um not good. Blech. I should have dropped the dough and bought raw Maranatha but it is so expensive!! Going to TJ’s for sure this week.
Coconut aminos?! Holy heck, where did you find this? What brand is it? I’ve very soy intolerant and would love to give this a whirl! So many awesome recipes call for soy sauce and I leave it out just to please my stomach and skin.
i found them at the health food store!
the brand is coconut secret
