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.

If I won, I would be all over those chocolate macaroons. 🙂
Your lunch looks fabulous! I’ve bee adding steamed beets to my salads lately, and I can’t get enough of ’em. 😉
If I won, I’d want to try either the apple pie or the macaroon trio!
i think i’d definitely be getting some mexi wraps
chocolate chip cookies!!!
Oh wow… so hard to narrow it down, but I think I’d have to give the Pad Thai a try! Everything looks amazing!
Nothin’ like a good giveaway to cure The Mondays 😉
I guess I’d choose Count Rawcula for a few reasons…
1. I tend to get into breakfast ruts (Who, me? A blogger? Oatmeal?)
2. Versatility! Tossed into yogurt, drowned in milk, eaten out of the bag, the list goes one.
3. The name. HELLO!
Yes, it is an exclamation point kind of giveaway.
Thanks for hosting <3
Ooooh, the brownie bites w/ vanilla frosting are calling my name!!
I would definitely go for the chocolate cheesecake! Since i’m lactose intolerant, I haven’t had cheesecake in I don’t even know how long!!!
It’s a toss up between the Baked Macaroni & Cheese and the Lasagna. Great to know about the lower shipping cost. Think I’ll place and order for a mid-summer treat!
pepperoni pizza! YUMMM!
I’d choose the Bliss Balls since my name’s Bliss. And they look good, that too.
this looks great!!! brownie bites with vanilla frosting…YUM!
You need to do a giveaway for us Canadians! 🙁
Mexi wraps sound beyond delish!
yum the applie pie looks delicious!!!
Chocolate macaroons for sure!
apple* oops!
Lasagna!
Hmm for the dessert I’d probably have to go with the No-Bake Cookies since I looooove oatmeal 🙂 And definitely the Baked Macaroni and Cheese as an entree!
Oooh the Tostadas look interesting! Would totally try them
OH MY GOD. can i have the apple pie?? seriously, that looks amazing! and i loveee that you just put up that beet recipe! i bought 3 big ones at the farmer’s market yesterday and i can’t wait to make them!!
i want the pad thai in my face. now.
LOL
Another great giveaway…seriously. I think I would have to go with the Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer Cake although I love chocolate macaroons as well. Decisions. Decisions.
Oh man…this is hard…but that slice of chocolate cheesecake looks delish. Either that, or the no-bake cookies.
awesome giveaway! wow, everything at Pure Market Express looks amazing. All the desserts sound to-die-for, but I would love to try the Strawberry Shortcake.
Mmmm I’d get the No Bake Cookies!
definitely the black bean burgers!!!!
they sound yummy!
Ooh,the Pad Thai sounds awesome!
Tough choice! I’d love to try the apple pie, but I think for novelty sake I’d go for taco salad or tostadas.
It’s a toss-up between the apple pie and the macaroons….they look heavenly! 🙂
I would go for the chocolate cheesecake or the pad thai.
Tostadas for sure!
I think I’d love to try the banana cream pie or the chocolate macaroons!!
Blueberry pancake dippers, for sure 🙂
apple pie!!
Holy CRAP! Why did you have to post that website!? You had me nearly drooling at my desk here at work. I would *definitely* order the Apple Pie…it looks divine!
hmmm what to choose….if i want real food-any of the lunches. dessert- def the cinnamon rolls.
Oh my gosh, the brownie bites w/ vanilla frosting sound absolutely amazing.
I’ve ordered from them before and adored the yogurt. I’d definitely choose that again! Even my mom said it was even better than dairy yogurt. 🙂
Love that Viesa knows when it’ll rain! Animals are so smart.
I would like….everything 🙂
it all looks amazing! I think I’d go for the pad thai or the brownie bites…yummm!
I would love to try the chocolate cheescake. I love cheesecakes of all sorts, but especially chocolate.
Banana cream pie!! Yes please!
The Baked Macaroni and Cheese sounds amazing so it would be a toss-up for me between that and the Basil Fried Rice — I love my carbs!!!
oh my. all of those desserts look sinfully delicious. i want to sink my teeth into those brownie bites with vanilla frosting!
Macaroons are my fav cookie!! Love coconut!!
I would love to try the Chocolate Cheesecake. I’ve never had a raw dessert and this would be a great way to start, right?? 🙂
Pad Thai all the way. Yum!
Oh my gosh, there’s so much to choose from! Right now, I’d either have to go cinnamon rolls or bliss balls. YUM!
Easy, that Baked Macaroni & Cheese caught my eye without contest! After looking at the nutritional value I was even more stoked (haha yes I used the word stoked) to try it. I can already see myself having mac&cheese with a a few cacao macaroons for dessert (cause who could really eat just one?)!!
Funny I was just peaking at this website!
Hands down would be the pepperoni pizza…I’m drooling at the thought of it right now!
I was drooling over the Pepperoni pizza earlier. Looks so interesting!
