Lead legs and pancakes
Hey everyone! Happy Sunday to ya 😀
The rest of yesterday was bueno and I actually had a disaster-free work night! Miraculous, I know 😀
Before leaving for work, I made myself an open-faced salad with some of the goodies I picked up at the health food store.
Organic kale, leftover sushi veggies, raw rice, and kelp noodle dressing, topped with dulse
Good thing no one was here to watch me eat it. I folded up each leaf and ate it taco-style, with fillings and dressing going everywhere. Not a first date kinda meal, but it was definitely delicious 😀
Work was pretty bueno and I manned the dessert/pastry station like a champ. I didn’t cut myself (yes!) and got all of the orders plated and out pretty quickly if I say so myself 🙂 I’m finally starting to get into a groove over there.
Dinner was a Spice-C smoothie (we made this one in class and I fell in love instantly. Spicy smoothies are totally my thing)
Fresh blood orange juice, frozen pineapple, goji berries, cayenne, and lime juice
Then I came home, and had a sleepover with Michelle 😀
We woke up not-too-early this morning, determined to finally get our outside run in. For the first time in over a week, the sun was shining!! Too bad we rolled out of bed crying about our yoga aches and pains. Yoga yesterday was seriously evil. I feel sore in places that haven’t been sore in a loooong time, which is definitely a good thing but not so much when you’re trying to run.
I had half this Lara before leaving:
And we set out.
My legs felt like LEAD and it was the hardest 3.5 miles I’ve ever ran. We both decided to call it quits after that and go to bfast instead 😀
We hit up 105degrees because their bfast menu is seriously incredible.
I’m sorry if you guys are getting sick of pics from there, but I just can’t get enough!
I ordered the cocoberry milkshake
Wild Berries, Banana, Raw Coconut Butter, Peruvian Maca, Cacao Nibs
Aren’t the glass straws awesome???!!
And the wild blueberry pancakes
So. Freaking. Good.
I’m seriously getting spoiled here—what am I going to do when I don’t have access to all of this food in a couple of weeks?? Guess I’ll be going through withdrawals, or cooking a LOT. I have a feeling I’ll roll with the latter, especially since I know how to make all of this now 😀
I’m back at the hotel-casa, doing laundry and decided to whip out this bad johnny.
KOMBUCHA! Or as I prefer to call it, kom-blech-cha.
I really, really, want to like this stuff because it is good for you, but I have to acquire a taste for it. Hopefully it will happen soon- I have a couple of new flavors to try. I was feeling brave and opened the bottle, took a gulp and got a mouthful of bacteria strands. No joke, I had to chew it. Thanks kombucha, ya jerk. I’m still sipping along and at this pace, I might finish the bottle by Friday 😉
Hope you have a very happy Sunday!
xoxo,
G

The pancakes look incredible! How are they made?
It’s funny because I LOVE Kombucha but I can’t drink it because the carbonation really upsets my stomach and I get very sick. Wish we could trade places!
i’m not sure of the exact recipe for the pancakes but i have a feeling they’re flax and banana based, and then dehydrated. they were super thin and absolutely delicious.
haha i wish we could trade places, too!
why am I not surprised that 150 has an incredible breakfast menu? I lurve me some kombucha but that shizz is mucho dinero!
Those pancakes look AMAZING!
I can’t get into Kombucha either! One time I got 3 or 4, thinking that I would def drink them b/c they’re so expensive, but NO… I could only take a few sips at a time!
Do you guys get a discount when you eat at 105? Oh, and another really random comment… I think it would be neat to see a guest post from the Pilot and puppies while you’re away!
hey laura,
the pilot’s working on it 😀 we’ve been talking about it for a while but he’s been busy with work. it’s on the way though!
yes, i get a discount at 105 since i work in the cafe. even if i didn’t, i’d eat there just as much. it’s that good.
RAW pancakes?!? OMG there really is a ‘raw’ answer for every food out there!
105degrees looks like a totally cool restaurant! I am LUVVING the glass straws! I’m confused about dehydrating – does the food get harder the longer it’s in there?
I’m with ya on the spicy smoothies- I put a big hunk of ginger in mine some times and BOY there’s a kick!! Have a great sunday!
Deb
Girl….I just created apple/”carrot cake”/almond pancakes that I made in my dehydrator. Raw, vegan, delish. I am blogging them tomorrow. Anyway, those blueberrie ‘cakes look sooo good. Mine def. have more texture and are more hearty but it’s so great seeing all your great food, then it inspires me to even try harder in my own kitch 🙂
And yeah, sometimes after yoga the leggies are super sore…makes the next days’ run a little tricky, but hey, it just means you found some muscles you forgot about 🙂 I actually love it when that happens but I think I’m weird that way LOL

I saw a small article in Vegetarian Times about 105 raw.. So jealous its so far away!! Looks amazing..
My theory is that the messier a meal is to eat, the better it tastes 🙂
Those pancakes look incredible!! Have a great Sunday!
I just recently tried Kombucha and HATED it!! I’m kind of glad because it is pricey. So, no worries about getting hooked on yet another expensive food/drink!
bacteria strands……………….please just stop…
(LOL)
Have you tried the gingerade komboocha? That’s the only one I can drink and I love it!
i have some in the fridge! it’s next… hopefully i can deal w that one a little better 😉
umm i will never get sick of seeing pics from 105degrees! your breakfast smoothie looks delish gina 🙂
jenna
Those pancakes look awesome! The smoothie looks great too!
I want to dive into that cocoberry milkshake (haha) – looks so good! You sure are getting spoiled, but at least you know how to make all this stuff now and can recreate on your own 🙂
Mmm… all those juices and delicious eats make me hungry!!
xo
K
haha, feel free to send any un-wanted kombucha over my way! Def. an acquired taste..and i love it!
I am loving all of your eats, Gina! So glad you are having a great time! xoxo
Just wondering what you’ve heard about Kamboocha and it’s health benefits. Everything I’ve heard/read can’t really be substantiated or backed up with any scientific evidence :o( (see Miz Fit and Summer Tomato)
that was supposed to be a 🙁 face
You’re making me reallllly want a dehydrator!!!
Didnt realize the pancakes were raw until I saw someone’s comment – cool! Also you crack me up with the Kombucha comments. They were all the rage in the blogworld for awhile (haven’t seen them much lately..) but at one point it was like why am i drinking this?!
Those pancakes look fantastic. I can’t wait to see where you go with these recipes when you get home. Knowing you, you’ll find a way to make them even better! 🙂
Gina ~ I made your calabacita’s for a dinner party last night. They were amazing. Two ladies even asked for the recipe – I’m sending them your link. I preparred everything earlier in the day and it was so quick and easy to make w/ out leaving my guests alone for long. Thank you for sharing!
That kombucha sounds gross. 😉
How do they keep the glass straws clean inside? Do you have to use a special brush to scrub down there?
ugh–part of me wants to like kombucha–but I just can’t. Tastes like I’m drinking old vinegar. Blah–I’ll stick to wine as my fermented beverage of choice 😉
I agree with Kelly, the gingerade and the ginger berry are the only Kombucha flavors that I can stomach.
I had one of those strawberry Synergy kombuchas yesterday, too, and I loved every sip! It tastes like champagne to me. I think my first batch of homemade kombucha might be done today!
Guava Goddess is delish!!! It’s the only kombucha flavor I like, but I REALLY like it! 🙂 Give it a try, oh and btw… your posts are making me want to go spend too much money at a raw restaurant we have here in Boston!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has trouble choking down the kombucha 😉
