Little Goat
Hi guys! It’s INDIAN FOOD WEDNESDAY!! 😀 Are you celebrating? I’ve got a hot date with the buffet later… and my husband 😉 Heh heh.
Last night was so chill. I caught up on emails and read the 5th Harry Potter book. I’m trying to catch up, but that 5th book is a beast!
Dinner:
A lovely combination of:
-quinoa
-chickpeas
-steamed organic veggies
-kalamata olives
-Tahini and Garlic Gold
all wrapped up in romaine leaves
(+ about 4 more- they couldn’t all fit on one plate)
As beautiful as the meal was, it was slightly messy to eat, especially since I was devouring it with gusto. The Pilot said I look like a little goat when I eat salads and the like.
I have no idea what he’s talking about 😉
This morning, I couldn’t wait to have some bfast cookie dough cereal:
The usual mix of
-1/2 C oats
-1 T nut butter (I used walmond butter)
-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior (deets on the awesome promo at the end of this post)
-cinnamon
-almond milk
-goji berries
-sliced banana
Well I’m off to walk the puppers and then teach bootcamp!
Hope you have a wonderful day <3
xoxo,
Gina

Something to do: If you’ve been wanting to try Sun Warrior, my protein lovahhh, or replenish your stash, today is a great day 🙂
OpenSky is running a ridiculous Sun Warrior promo– $35 per pack! This stuff is usually around $50… it’s pricey, but it’s GOOD. You can get chocolate and vanilla for $65. These babies are going to go fast and the first 100 to order will also get a sample of chia seeds.
To guarantee that there are no order probs, all orders will be shipped on Monday. If you don’t receive your order when you’re supposed to, OpenSky will give ya a coupon/gift certificate.

LOL @ the pic of the goat!
Happy Indian Food Wednesday 🙂 Hope it’s delicious!
*LOVE* the goat. that is awesome 🙂
I love romaine and use the leaves as wraps All The Time !!
🙁 I’ve been wanting to try it but will be broke until after the 1st! Do you know if they sell sample sizes? I hate to buy full size powders because I normally end up hating the flavors.
no they don’t have sample sizes, but i’ve tried pretty much every protein powder under the sun and this one is my fave. the vanilla is AWESOME 🙂
maybe after i get mine i can send you a scoop to try??
Just ordered my first ever Sun Warrior! I’m super excited to try it! I’m also going to try my first Indian recipe tonight in honor of Indian Food Wednesday. Hopefully it will turn out; we don’t have any Indian restaurants here! (BTW, I’m down near Columbus, GA. Not far from ya’ll!)
enjoy!
let me know how it turns out!! 🙂
Eeek, that is an amazing price on the Sun Warrior. You can be sure that I am finally ordering a bag.
AHHH! FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting, and just ordered!! SO stoked to try it. Thanks girl!! 🙂
wahoo! happy sun warrior day 🙂
aww I wish I could get a piece of that action in Canada… I found a site that ships it to Canada but it’s $65 PER pack!
gahhh! hopefully opensky will get canadian shipping worked out soon
I LOL-ed at the goat!
What a great price for Sun Warrior! I have been using Designer Whey protein powder for awhile. I am very happy with it, however, I have decided to switch to a vegan protein powder so that I can make smoothies for my sister (who is vegan) when she visits. I have been trying to decide between Sun Warrior and Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer. What are your thoughts on the differences between the two as far as taste and nutrition? Thank you!
i like the fact that vega combines different types of protein and plant based nutrients, but love the simplicity and taste of sun warrior. they’re both amazing choices though
Next up on my reading list is the Harry Potter series. I’m hoping to finish it by the time the last movies come out in the fall and winter. I saw previews and they look kinda epic. Well, what I saw through shut eyes–I couldn’t spoil the books.
no love in Canada, eh? ;(
i know, ehh?? 🙁 they’re working on it.. the demand is so high so opensky is trying to get canadian shipping fo sho
The picture of the goat is cute! My boyfriend says I look like a bunny when I devour salads.
Sweet deal on the Sun Warrior!
Oh, I love goats, so I’d take that as a compliment for sure 🙂
I made your microwave cake last night, it turned out beautiful!
wahoo! i’m glad you liked it 🙂
Yayyyy thank you – I just placed my order! Great promo. Hoping I get the chia seeds as well 🙂 I’ve never tried protein powder but have been really curious about it. Got the vanilla! Other than breakfast cookies and smoothies, do you have any suggestions of how to use it?
so awesome! you’ll love it . s.w. is also amazing in baked goods, chia pudding, protein ice cream and stirred into oatmeal
Just like Karen, I typically use Designer Whey BUT you rave about Sun Warrior and I have not been disappointed with any of your advice yet so I replenished my protein stock today with some Vanilla SW. Very excited to try!! Annd hope I get to sample some of those Chia seeds : )
wahoo! you’ll love sun warrior 🙂 designer whey is great but the stats for s.w. are better and the taste is equally amazing
Love the goat !! 😉 I ordered BOTH ! Can’t wait to try the chocolate….I got the vanilla with your last promo & LOVE it !!! Thanks for the great deal Gina 🙂 🙂
so awesome! vanilla is my fave but you’ll love the chocolate 🙂
Did you take that goat pic?? If so…WOW!! You are picking up on the SPR quickly!!
Love the sun warrior promo, I am partial to Vega, but maybe I will try a pack since it’s so cheap!
hahah no i didn’t take it!
if i would have ever been that close to a goat i probably would have adopted it 😉
LOL! The bartender at this restaurant we go to down the shore was telling us that his wife adopted 4 goats…but he got them fixed, so no cheese 🙁
But he said his girls would run around and play with them outside..they have goats a horse, 8 cats, 3 dogs, 3 birds, and a lot of land…he said his wife vacuums like 5 times a day she’s a neat freak, lol. I want a goat now too!!! SOooo cute!
*SLR** I should really check my work before hitting enter
Hi Gina! Talking of chia seeds – can you possibly point me towards posts in which you have given some ideas how to use them? I know you’ve mentioned them before, and I finally got hold of some – but I’m scratching my head a bit. Thank you thank you!
My best friend is about to start keeping miniature goats, by the way. They are like bonsai versions of the original, and somewhat cuter..!!
Have you tried the Vegan overnight oats from Ohsheglows? She uses 1 tblsp of chia seeds in it.
yeah i make an overnight chia pudding that is kind of similar. i was obsessed with it last summer!
ahhhh i want a miniature goat!
some ideas:
protein chia pudding 1/4 C chia seeds, 3/4-1 C almond milk, 1/2 scoop sun warrior, stevia, cinnamon and vanilla topped with banana
sprinkle in smoothies
add 1 T to 1/2 C milk and stir into oats in the morning
chia chili cheese http://fitnessista.com/2009/07/grocery-goodies-and-chia-chili-cheese/
baaahah – love the goat comparison. And I’m only laughing because I’m sure I look like one when shoveling down salad, too! 🙂
I’m totally taking advantage of your Open Sky promo. I’m a Jay Rob Brown Rice protein pwder fan myself, but I’m also a Sun Warrior virgin. The ultimate taste test showdown! (Channeling my inner Bobby Flay)
I had so many problems with the last OpenSky SunWarrior promo that I would be hesitant to order from them again… I ordered 2 vanilla, only 1 arrived. It took about 6 weeks to get the 2nd package. They did refund the cost of one, and also promised a coupon for a future order, but failed to deliver on that. I do like the Vanilla Sun Warrior, the taste and stats are great!
hey girl,
if you ever have probs with an order, contact me and i’ll make sure it gets fixed!
if you send danny an email right now, he’ll get you your coupon
SOOOOOOO Stinkin SAD! No shipping to Canada! 🙁 I love these promos, but I want some Sunwarrior! 🙁
i know 🙁 they’re working on getting shipping to canada, the demand has been really high!
WOW sun warrior must be EXTREMELY POWERFUL! haha look how happy you are <3 <3
it makes me so happy.. it’s kind of scary
I love that picture! Great action shot!
I’m such a nerd that the salad was the 2nd thing that caught my attention from your post. The first? That you’re reading Harry Potter. Love it. lol.
My bestie’s hubby eats more like a goat than anyone I’ve ever seen. He’ll eat the parsley off people’s plates along with random other weird things (like the lemon rinds) and half the food is always out his mouth..hahahaha
I can’t believe you are able to put Harry Potter down, I read through most of the night since I was soo hooked. I’m sad on the Sun warrior, I just bought the vanilla.
That dinner looks delicious! I love the picture of the goat…so cute!
Little goat, lol. Yummy dinner!
I always look like a goat when I eat salad. I can’t for the life of me eat lettuce gracefully!
Love your picture and the goat is cute too!
YES! Thanks for the deal, I was out of chocolate and just ordered some!! You rule:) ALso, I love Harry Potter, a client that I train, her daughter bought me a Harry Potter Coloring book, how cute, right?! The sad part…I have actually colored in it, what can I say, it is very theraputic!
i LOVE that picture of you at the end! you are so beautiful Gina!
haha thank you! sun warrior just makes me so happy 🙂
Fun picture of you. 🙂
will it be the bag or the tubs? are there still some chia seeds?
in the bag- it’s the new packaging. i’m not sure if there are chia seeds left- i have no clue how many have sold already. sorry i’m not more help!
It was like you were reading my mind, Gina. I’ve wanted to try the Sun Warrior for a while now but kept putting if off….this was perfect timing! Thanks.
ok thanks, I ordered! I feel like a crazy person since I’m unemployed but this still seems like a good idea despite shipping and tax because I think I’m better off just getting two bags than three (from the sun warrior people deal)–hopefully I’ll get the seeds, I’ve wanted to try them! Thanks for your quote too! Agnes DeMille — I’m dancer/former dancer
i hope you get the chia seeds too!
also a former dancer 🙂 i miss it like crazy
Did you have an injury? I’ve had some issues with knee, plus the stress of the competition paired with the economy have kept me out on the sidelines for a bit :\
THanks for running the promo
no i just moved from tucson where my studio was, and haven’t found anywhere else to dance around here :/
I’ve been following the blog for a while and am really stoked about trying the vanilla Sun Warrior protein! I also hope I get some of the chai seeds to try. The pictures of all of your food looks amazing!!!
Garlic Gold pack ROCKED!!! Good stuff and will be buying more of that.
Hey girl! I think you’ve convinced me to try out the Sun Warrior after I’m out of my current protein powder stash!
let me know if you try it! it’s pretty much amazing 🙂
yay for reading hp! i need to reread my copies soon 🙂
Love the quote today – “we take leap after leap in the dark”
When I read the title of your blog post I thought it was going to be about some little goat cheese hehehe
Aaaaaaaaaand ordered! Great promo, I love this stuff – and the combo pack convinced me to try the chocolate!
dinner looks awesome as well!
Where did you move to/where r u now?
valdosta ga
I’m asking my GA friend from the cruiseship job I did…..
I’m new to your site, have been reading it for a few weeks and just purchased the Vanilla, so excited to try it!
That is such a cute picture of you….haha SunWarrior should use you in their ads 🙂
OH, I SO wish I could take advantage of this 🙁 What a GREAT deal!!!
Best two pictures ever – the goat and the picture of you with the Sun Warrior bag 🙂 Too cute!
Yummy looking lettuce wraps and cute goat photo! Your breakfast cookie dough cereal sounds lovely too. 🙂
haha being compared to a little goat isn’t the worst of animals 🙂
I would totally get the Sun Warrior deal if I didn’t already have 3 tubs of protein powder!
Your dinner looks so good! Who cares how messy it is haha
