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.

Everything looks so delicious. I’d had to say though, the The Goji Trail mix would be an awesome, healthy on the go snack – something I’m trying to get better with.
The Stir-Fry Less!
I would so get the chocolate chocolate chip cookies. I am a chocolate kinda girl!
Pizza! Or Strawberry shortcake! Hmmm
Hard to say – I don’t know much about raw food but I think I would definitely try a dessert!
chocolate chip cookies or the baked mac and cheese!!
It’s a toss up between the mexiwrap and the bacon jalapeno poppers. I live for SPICYYYY food.
I’d love to try the Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
Aww, my old yellow lab used to go sit by the bathtub when it was about to storm – poor thing was terrified (though a great weatherman)!
If I won, I’d love to try Spicy Peanut Pasta! And I’d REALLY love to try your macaroons 🙂
I would LOVE to try to PadThai and the Chocolate chip cookies! YUM!
brownie bites with vanilla frosting please :-).
It would be a very tough decision between the Strawberry Shortcake or the Key Lime Cheesecake!
I would love to try the pad Thai! It sounds fantastic (I love bean sprouts)!
I would get the tostadas, they look yummy!
I would go with the brownie bites!
Julie’s sushi looks great!
the Pineapple Slaw sounds amazing. plus, macaroons for dessert? win-win. 😉 thanks for the giveaway!
Pepperoni Pizza looks good to me! 🙂
Ooooo… the ravioli sounds amazing!!
Oh my gosh- the banana cream pie FOR SURE! One of my absolute favorites… I’d love to taste the raw version!
Great to hear you’re loving Turbofire!!
I would love some sausage pizza. I mean really? Pizza? I havn’t had dairy in so long, I’ve forgotten what it taste like. Please remind me.
Key Lime Cheesecake!
choco cheesecake !
I would get the pepperoni pizza, it looks delish!
Apple pie, yes please!!! And, I’ve yet to experience your macaroons. This would be fabulous to win!
Wow…this is a hard decision everything looks sooo good. Since I am big on desserts I would have to choose the Chocolate cheesecake! : )
My two faves from the raw food bar at Whole Foods were the zucchini hummus and meatloaf… since moving I haven’t been able to find them so I would definitely get the Hummus & Onion Bread… Basil Friend Rice would come in a close second!
I am definitely coming out of the woodworks for this giveaway – little ol Tucson has nothing in the way of raw restaurants so I would LOVE to try out one of their entrees. Specifically the mexi-wraps or spanish rice. Sounds delicious!
tucson is my homeland! and you’re right, idon’t think they have any raw places yet
I would get the pad thai! Looks awesome 🙂
Mac n’ cheese or cookies, and I WANT YO FLIPPIN’ MACAROONS!
Okay, that beet pita looks DELICOUS! And you are totally right about food tasting better when someone else makes it for you! It’s even better when someone else does the dishes, too 😀
Everything looks so yummy! The banana cream pie looks delicious
I’d pick the sushi or the mac and cheese. Both look amazing. But mainly I want some ‘ROONS!
Tough call… I have to go with the pepperoni pizza, though! *swoon*
its a toss up between the pad thai and the apple pie… both look amazingly delicious!
Oh wow, everything looks amazing. Without a doubt I would try the raviolis and the chocolate cheesecake.
I would love to try the sushi, it looks yummy! I just found out that I’m allergic to white fish so it would be a good replacement.
So many options! Love the Taco Salad (and Macaroons too)!
The chocolate cheesecake looks soo good!
I’m dying to try the macaroni and cheese (and your ‘roons!). I’m a cheese head with a bad habit and I’ve never found a vegan recipe that cuts it.
I love Pure Market! I just posted this on my blog as well (well a different type of giveaway with them). 🙂 I’m so happy I have a chance to win now! I am going with the tostadas! YUM!
I can’t wait to try this-I would love to try the donut holes and the chocolate macaroons.
Thanks.
Yay great giveaway!! I’m drooling over the sound of the chocolate mudslide, and there’s not even a picture 🙂
I would definitely choose the pad thai. I love pad thai but it’s always so greasy when I order i, and I’m sure this would be much better!
Wow, I’m drooling! I want to try the pizza, but the desserts look amazing, too!
I usually go the chocolate route, but the apple pie looks beyond delish! Yumm. And I’ve recently discovered I like beets in my salad…never thought I’d say that!
I would choose the portabella herb steak with red pepper corn salsa. Everything looks so good!
anything where i might get a raw macaroon sounds amazing! and pizza? yes please 🙂
Apple pie, basil rice, watermelon soup…what to pick?
It all sounds fabulous, but the Thai salad definitely wins this one 🙂
I want it all!! I think “the most intricate dish” on the menu, the RAVIOLI sounds pretty good right now. With fitnessista macaroons for dessert!
