Un-beetable Lunch + a Giveaway
Heyyyyy 😀 How are ya? Hope your day is going well <3 I loved reading about which workouts get ya excited. It’s always a good idea to take the “work” out of working out 😀
It’s going to STORM here any second.
I know this because Viesa can tell when it’s going to rain:
My little Shiba chicken 😉
This morning, I got some work done and snacked on my beloved smoothie whilst typing away:
Choc Cherry Bomb dot com
After a while, I went up to the yoga room to TURBOFIRE it up!
Oh. My. Stars.
What a workout. Today was Fire 45 + Stretch 10 and I loved every schweaty, booty-shaking, jumping second. ‘Twas amazeballs.
Electrolytes:
For lunch, I really wanted a salad beast but our greens stash is dwindling, so something even better happened.
I peeled a giant beet, chopped it up and seasoned with olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
Mark of a hardcore beet lover:
After roasting for 20 minutes at 400*, I added the chopped beet to an oat bran pita with arugula, goat gouda, Fig vinegar and Garlic Gold.
Mind was blown. I LOVE beet + goat cheese + arugula and in pita form, it was incredible.
Dessert was the last raw cacao-cayenne truffle:
Guess I’ll have to make some more 😉
As you guys have probably figured out, I haven’t been eating as raw as usual lately. Our organic produce has been scant here in Valdizzy, but I’ve enjoyed quite a few raw desserts (like this raw strawberry tart and multiple macaroons!).
I’m pretty stoked because Pure Market Express (a raw food delivery service, reviewed *here*) is offering an awesome deal on shipping right now- it’s $10 for orders over $50. This is pretty amazing because shipping is a beast and is usually very expensive in order to get the food delivered quickly. When you add $50 worth of product to your cart, the $10 shipping deal will happen automatically. Baller.
Executive Chef Rebecca Irey:
I’m really excited to order some food from Pure Market Express this week (love the Mexi rice!!!) –I know how to make it but food always tastes better when someone else does the work- and am even more excited that Rebecca is offering a giveaway for ya’ll.

Since last week we did the Inferno Plan of Turbo Fire, today was officially are first day starting the program, so we did Fire 30, stretch 10. Oh and as far as the giveaway goes, we would go for the Cinnamon Rolls! MMM

salmon and hollandaise! how do they make that?!
Brownie bites with vanilla frosting…they look amazing!!!!
The raw sausage pizza would make this celiac a very happy girl!
The Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer Cake sounds A M A Z I N G! Good thing there isn’t a picture of it, I might try to lick the sceen 😉
Bliss balls… because they look just like your raw cocoa-cayenne truffle.
everything looks amazing! what’s your fave? i’d have to choose the donut holes. donuts, really?!!
Hey! It looks like you like Turbo Fire A LOT! My sister is a beach body coach so if you would like to order anything else or even some shakeology, then just check out her my blog for more info!
Beachbody
I would choose the pad Thai… It sounds delish
brownie Bites! Mmmm
I would choose the strawberry shortcake or the chocolate cheesecake! What a cool website.
I would love to try the lasagna~ pesto with pistachios?! YUM. But honestly, I’d eat anything on the menu!
Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer Cake, oh my! Doesn’t have a picture, but anything with that description deserves to be eaten!
The lasagna sounds deeeee-lish! I’ve recently become (mostly) vegetarian, and this twist on one of my favorite foods (ever!) jumped out at me 🙂
The banana cream pie looks incredible! But more than that, I woul love to “win” you macaroons :). Thanks, Gina, for the opportunity to win a great prize.
(This might be a duplicate – not sure my first attempt posted)
Baked Mac n Cheese!
I’d love to try the french toast oatmeal – sounds delicious!
I would choose the chocolate chip cookies. They look like raw cookie dough balls…yum.
I know how much you love Indian Food- here’s a blog I follow which I think you’ll like! http://enjoyindianfood.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
I would either choose the chocolate cheesecake or apple pie, both look delicious! And of course I’d love to try your macaroons!
Hey,
great giveaway. I always wanted to try raw food but somehow I never seem to have the time to try the recipes I’ve seen so far.
I’d go with the chocolate cheesecake which looks really yummi!
I would love to try the apple pie! Though everything looks amazing and is gluten-free 😀
CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE. Hands down!
THANK YOU for that beet recipe. I have mountains of beets in my fridge from our CSA and I’m getting tired of trying to find things to put them in!!
Is there one area compiled to see your recipes using the Raw Vegan? I just purchased it from your store & it would be nice to see how it is used as an ingredient. 🙂
I have wanted to try p90x or turbofire or something like that, do you have any recommendations on where to start? I’m in pretty decent shape, but I would like a challenge. Thoughts on how you know if you are ready for one of those programs or where a person should start?
it depends.. are you looking for a cardio or strength training program?
Chocolate cheesecake, you can never go wrong with chocolate!
Everything looks so good! I think I’d try the lasagna… I’ve never had it raw before and it looks delicious. Thanks for the giveaway, G, and have a good weight training sesh!
It all looks good, but I can never resist lasagna – I’ve never had it raw before and I’d love to try it.
The chocolate chip cookies look absolutely devastating! Viesa looks extra cute today- our little girl Shiba likes to hide behind the couch when it thunders.
The Sausage Pizza intrigues me. 🙂 And I would LOVE to try your macaroons! Mmmmm.
Tostadas, because as of late I’m addicted to tasty south of the boarder food!
The pineapple slaw looks yummy!!! Would love to try it…..and the chocolate cheesecake too!
The cinnamon rolls are beyond my wildest dreams, wonder if they taste as good as they look? I would enjoy tasting their “spanish rice” most. My boyfriend is Puerto Rican, We.Eat.Lots.Of.Rice. Doubt they got the authentic spanish flavor I even struggle at times, but you never know…
BTW: All of the pantry picks are flirting with me. Hope you get yourself some goodies and give us some feedback 🙂
