Ahoy, Mateys
Heyyyyyy 😀 How are ya?
So glad you’re enjoying the Raw Cacao Cookie giveaway!
No joke, those beauties came out SCARILY similar to the chewy chips ahoy cookies. Blows my mind!!!
Just to make things more fun, I’m also throwing a jar of my favorite almond butter, a pack of Vega smoothie infusion and a few of my favorite raw bars in there 😀
Today has been so productive! Crossing things of the to-do list is very nice 😉
I started it with a bfast that I haven’t had in FOREVER:
Katie’s Banana Bread in a Bowl!
Into the Vita-mixalicious went:
-1 cup almond milk
-lots of cinnamon
-pinch of nutmeg
-vanilla
-1.5 cups Arrowhead Mills spelt flakes
-1 banana
It was amazing. Katie, my friend, you are a genius 😀
Next, I went to the gym with Ashley for chest, upper back and shoulders. It was crazy! I’ve really enjoyed lifting weights in the morning lately.. I always push myself harder in the morning, and it’s nice to get it out of the way. Ashley surprised me with a super cute shirt, too—I’ll take a pic of it and add it to the next post 🙂
After weights, I hit up Wizzle for some grocery necessities and then came back to the casa for some protein:
a double egg white puff on a New York plate.
I started cleaning the vacation tornado that has swept through the casa and stopped for a Mary’s crack break.
These sticks and twigs seriously rock my face off. The chipotle tomato flavor is excellent and I also LOVE the curry flavor 🙂
The pilot and I took the puppers on a walk, and then I made some lunch.
Millet bread with maca and cinnamon:
and a salad beast (organic greens, bell pepper, onion, grape tomatoes, raw goat cheddar and Goddess dressing) with water and MSM powder
Perfection 😀
I’m off to train a client and then work on Zumba dances (we have 3 new ones for today!) before heading to pilates and teaching Zumba.
Have a wonderful Monday!
xoxo,
Gina
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 21st Birthday to my little bro!!!
Sorry ladies, he has a girlfriend 😉

I caaaannnot find those sticks and twigs for the life of me, but I NEED them!
oh man, i hope i win those cookies! they look UH-mazing and I’d love to try all of the other amazingness too 🙂
Those cookies look so freaking good. They make me want to go out and buy a dehydrator just to try them!!
Fitnessista: how do you make the egg puff- if you microwave it, how long and how do you keep it from making a mess?
Love your heart shaped bowl!!
I just had sticks and twigs as part of my lunch!!! I haven’t seen that flavor, but the curry ones are AMAZING!!!
Have a great day!
i’m gonna be dreaming about those cookies….and drooling too…..u such a temptress!! 🙂
I love the MGC twigs…esp the chipotle tomato flavor…it’s great just like that or with some hummus esp cilantro hummus :)…wasn’t crazy about the curry flavor.
For Sarah @ The foodie Diaries: Look out for the Sticks and twigs at health food stores and Organic Market. There’s a store called Mom’s Organic Martket near my place that carries them. Giant has the crackers but not seen the twigs. If you don’t find them anywhere and u really really want them, lemme know, i will mail u some.
Back to the temptress: …..so u gonna keep us all up until midnight today, huh! 🙂
Enjoy!!…I have my circuit training this afternoon…can’t wait to get a good workout after a lazy weekend. 🙂
Mary’s crack sticks and twigs?! Must find these bites o’ goodness!
Yay for a productive day! Have a great night 🙂
Chipotle crack sticks?!?!?! Where did you find them? If I win the giveaway can you throw in a bag?
i got them at whole foods.. and yes, if you win, a little baggie will go in with the goodies 😀
Happy birthday to brother Fitnessista! How do you eat that bread with so much cinnamon? I tried topping a wrap with some the other day and it flew right up my nose! (TMI 🙂
hahah the cinnamon sticks to the bread pretty well 🙂
DAMN! I was about to ask for them digits. Oh well…
That heart-shaped bowl is adorable, by the way.
Happy Birthday Bro!
Gina- how different are Mary’s crackers from the twigs?…i’ve had the twigs and was thinking of getting the crackers this time.
I wish I could just shadow you one day with all your supah fun fitness classes!! Happy Bday Fitnessbro!
How brilliant are Mary’s crackers?! I love them! the salt twigs and sticks are just as brilliant as anything else they do!
Is there a recipe for those cookie wonders?!
Aw, the oats look so February festive in that bowl! 🙂
The one thing I would like to have made raw are cinnamon rolls. The tradition in my family is one giant roll that you cut like a cake. It’s pretty much an entire days worth of baking but so so worth it!!
Awww Gina, you just made my day!!
Oh, and happy birthday to your bro! Jeez, did your family hog all the good-looking genes or what?
Have fun at Zumba! Someday soon, I really want to try it!
Happy birthday to your brother, hope he has a fun 21st. The banana bread in a bowl looks great. If I get any good recipes in the Happy Pear healthy eating course tomorrow night, I’ll send them onto you. Last week, we talked about the China Study and did juicing and wheatgrass. Will keep you posted. Enjoy the zumba.
chewy cookies are the best. and i love the heart shape!
Happy birthday to your bro, hope he stays safe 😉
And like others have said, those cookies look PHENOMENAL.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the day
