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.

I’d have to go with the RAW LASAGNA! Makes me hungry just dreaming about it! MMMMMMmmmmmmm! 🙂
BLUEBERRY MUFFINS! I love any and all baked goods. And I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try some of your raw cacao macaroons too :).
Banana Cream Pie, please and thank you! 🙂
i’d pick pad thai!
Mmmmm…Everything looks so good. I would like to try the tostadas or the strawberry shortcake pie. Yum!
The raw pizza!!!!
I need some advice…I am having such a hard time sticking with eating healthy. I do really good until about 3 or 4 o’clock and then I just give it up! I am so frustrated and don’t know what to do to kick this! Any advice from all would be really appreciated 🙁
Make sure you’re eating enough up until that point. A lot of times when we are focused on eating healthy, we tend not to eat enough. Also, you could try healthier sweets (dried cherries do it for me) or a small portion of a less healthy food to curb any cravings.
Thanks Jennifer! Those are some good tips! I have about 60 pounds to lose so I really need to stick with this! I just feel like there is so much information out there and I don’t know what the best “path” to my weight loss is?
I would pick chocolate cheesecake or chocolate macaroons.
“BAKED MAC AND CHEESE” Pick me! I am dying to try your macaroons!
I would love to try the pad thai!
I love lasagna, so I would love to try theirs! As for dessert, their ice creams look delicious, as do all o their cookies. Hard to pick just one.
Not gonna lie, I really want the Chocolate Cheesecake or the Chocolate Ganache Raspberry Layer Cake. I have a sweet tooth if you can’t tell.
I’m getting some golden beets in my CSA box tomorrow, really looking forward to trying a version of your pita with whole wheat flat breat + feta + herb of choice (not sure yet, but my arugula plant is growing fast!)
Mmm, I have wanted to try them for a while… if I win this I’d pick an entree (possibly the salmon + hollandaise, or the lasagna…) and I’d LOVE to pair it with your ROONS !
🙂 thanks for the opportunity… nom Nom NOM
I would love to try the pad thai. Looks very interesting!
The Pizza or Ravioli or I’d love to try their corn chowder or onion soup….can you tell in indecisive. If I picked desert, I’d go for the chocolate cheesecake! and your macaroons, yes please! I’ve never had a macaroon before and I’m dying to try!
Definitely the Chocolate Cheesecake!! Looks delish!
Banana Cream Pie for sure! Everything looks amazing though! 🙂
I’d love to try the spanish rice. So many yummy choices!
Oh, boy. This is tough – everything looks so yummy. I guess for an entree it would be the pepperoni pizza. For dessert it is hard to choose between the key lime pie and the lemon pie. I guess the lemon pie would be my choice if I can only have one!
Thanks.
Banana cream pie, hands down!
the apple pie looked yummy!
Pad Thai & No Bake Cookies 4 sure, order is being placed now 🙂
chocolate chocolate chip cookies look yummy!
Mac n’ cheese all the way!!
By the way, one idea I had for a post you could do is on hormones and women. Im pretty sure my hormones are way out of wack because I get adult acne all along my jaw and chin…and I think it has a lot to do with your liver? There are ways to cleanse your liver and get your hormones balanced, but theres just so much information. I am going to make an appt with the owner of my local health food store soon, but would be curious if you have any input. Thanks!
I was drooling over everything earlier when Kristen posted about their amazing new shipping prices! The most drool-worthy? Pepperoni Pizza. Oh boy.
I would have to pick the onion bread for 2 reasons 1) I LOVE bread! 2) If the fitnessista likes it, so do I!
I want to try raw pizza!
I would love love love to try the apple pie! It looks so fresh and delicious!
Sooo tough! The desserts look amazing but I am smitten by the lasagna!
Mmmm everything looks good but I may have to go with the chocolate cheesecake!
Wow all the food on the siet looks so good! I want to try the Pad Thai.
Definitely the “Baked Mac and Cheese.” Not something I’ve ever had before, but I would love to try it!
pepperoni pizza looks interesting! i would have to try that and would love your roons!
Chocolate cheesecake or mudslide pie!!
I love love love mexican food, so I’m gonna have to say the “mexiwraps.”
Macaroooons! 🙂 I’ve never had beets (who knows why) but that lunch looks so good!
Portabella Herb Steak & Red Pepper Corn Salsa looks yummy
ohhh and the banana cream pie….yum
I stopped when I saw “cinnamon rolls”. Those things are honestly sent from Heaven above <33
The tostad looks fantastic – and that strawberry shortcake is too pretty to eat – almost!
Poor puppy – my dog hates firecrackers/fireworks, but thunder doesn’t seem to bother him. I just give him a big hug to keep him from shaking!
Mo
I don’t know about anyone else, but I went straight for the desserts 😉 They all look amazing!! But if I HAVE to choose it’d be the Strawberry shortcake or the Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer cake. My entire mouth just filled up with saliva as I typed that. YUUUM!
Macaroon trio – Get to sample all three!
hummus and onion bread!! yummmmm!
It all looks so delicious! I would try the pepperoni pizza, since that’s something I probably wouldn’t attempt to make myself at home (at least, not in raw form!).
The hummus & carrotini crackers look amazing (as do so many of the other options)!
the no bake cookies sound delish!
The apple pie looks delish! I’d love to try it out. 🙂
That lasagna looks delicious! I want to try it BAD. Also the chocolate cheesecake looks heavenly! Great giveaway!
the brownie bites are calling my name!!

So many yummy choices…Salmon & Hollandaise sounds so good!
donut holes…need I say more?!
