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.

Yay! I would say the Salmon & Hollandaise because its so unique! Yum 🙂
Hi, If I won I think I would choose an entree. The pineapple slaw looks awesome as does the ravioli. I love this stuff. Thanks.
I would get Julie’s sushi! I have toyed with raw food in the past but have never made the sushi before. It looks delish!
I’d say macaroons, if you weren’t already including them in the gift package 😉 That said, the chocolate chip cookies sound delicious!
I would choose the chocolate cheesecake! yum!
I would love to try the apple pie! it looks delish!
Whoa! All the food looks delicious. But, If I had to choose I could pick the MexiWraps or for my second choice the No-Bake Cookies! Yummmmmmmy! 😀
CINNAMON ROLLS!! i would hit that so hard it’s not even funny!
oh-emmm-gee i love beets! if i could choose an entree it would def be the raw lasagna. what a feat! i’ve had rebecca’s stuff before and it is seriously out of this world delish!
Hard to decide…but the chocolate cheesecake looks mighty tasty!
Wow! All the food looks amazing! Especially the desserts. But I think if I had to pick one thing I would pick the entree Baked Macaroni & Cheese. I can’t/don’t eat dairy, but I crave Mac ‘n Cheese often. I’m so excited to find out about this website. Also I made my first Sun Warrior smoothie today(The chocolate cherry bomb) and it was out-of-control! So glad I found your website, you are awesome Gina! 🙂
happy first sun warrior smoothie! so glad you liked it 🙂
uhhmazing! I want the bliss balls or key lime pie cheesekcake which is my all time FAVORITE dessert on this eartth!
I am so so so excited for turbo fire! I do have a question…are you JUST doing the program, or are you doing weight training on opposite days??
i’m still doing weight training and yoga 🙂
SO much of the food looks great! I would try any of the desserts, especially the Bliss Balls.
Oh goodness, the pumpkin pie hands down!
Good to know your pup is a Shiba..mine looks very similar but she is a rescue so we don’t what her mix is!
Beets and goat cheese = bliss!
macarooooooons! any dessert, really.
I am dying to try the chocolate macaroons! I’ve never had a ‘raw’ meal before and those macaroons look like exactly where I should start!!!
I would try the raw pizza. What a great way to get m family totry something they love in a healthy way 😉
the lasagna or the southwest black bean burgers sound delicious!
Oh my gosh Gina! I literally spent 15 minutes browsing the whole website! I had no idea stuff like this existed. Id so love to win this. I would definitely want to try the Blueberry Pancake Dippers with Honey. Yummmmm!! 🙂
I would go for the Basil Fried Rice, but I won’t lie, it was the promise of raw cacao macaroons that got me excited about the giveaway!!
I would try the No-Bake Cookies! Yum!:-)
I would love to try the baked macaroni and cheese or the southwest black bean burger. All of it looks great, even the deserts but I thought if I win and you throw in the raw maccaroons there is desert! Thanks for sharing the website….I’ll keep it on my short list’
I would choose the Southwest Black Bean Burgers. They sound SO delicious!
ohh choose? hard…..macaroons or sausage pizza. They all sounds yummy!
I can’t decide between the lasagna or the portabello “steak” with corn salsa…
geeze..trying to decide between chocolate chip cookies and the macaroon trio is a tough choice!
Everthing looks wonderful. I would probably choose the lasagna, tostada or the chocolate cheesecake.
I’m a bit of a chocoholic (understatement of the century) so that chocolate cheesecake was calling my name. But it all looks so amazing!
Hands down, pumpkin pie. Oh. my. word. Looks amazing.
Ravioli!! PS Thanks for the beet idea-YUM!
I would get the apple pie!!!
the banana cream pie looks amazing!! I’d love to try a healthier version of the pie.
I would choose entree because I’ve never eaten raw before. I think a entree is best b/c we all know the dessert is gonna taste like a little piece of heaven =:O)
DEFINITELY the raw pepperoni pizza. That is one of the things I miss most since going veggie a few years ago!
I would have to pick the apple pie–it looks delicious!! 🙂
I would have to roll with the banana cream pie. What a great site!
i would wanna try the southwest black bean burgers, the julies sushi, or the “salmon fillet” with hollandaise ! all sound delish. i never win anything so this would be awesome!
I would pick the chocolate cheese cake.
I want to try the pizza and lasagna!!
wowsa, that banana cream pie that popped up immediately caught my eye, but i might go for something i can’t make at home (no dehydrator) so maybe macaroons or the hummus and carrotini crackers. or maybe the taco salad or stir fry less or… 🙂
Salmon-less salmon? That’s intriguing! But I’d have to go for that Strawberry Shortcake–I have a weakness for dessert!
How do you choose!??!? I’ve never really played around with raw food, but after taking a look at this site, I may be a new raw food recruit!
Of course when I looked on the food, dessert was the first to pop up 🙂 My mouth is watering as I type!!! I would love to try the banana cream pie. It looks amazing!
Such a hard choice!! Lasagna…wait cheese cake…no fried rice…ahhh, can’t choose!!! lol
I would say the Pad Thai as my first choice, or the chocolate chip cookies (always a classic).
The chocolate chip cookies look delicious!! I am the biggest chocoholic and I believe that those cookies may satisfy the beast within (:
I think if I won I’d try an etree. It would be my first real taste of raw cooking, I’ve always been intimidated to make them myself. The corn chowder looks yummy!
The chocolate cheesecake!!! Definitely would love to get my hands on that, it sounds fantastic!
No Bake Cookies. ‘Nuff said.
Yummy! I would pick the stir-fry less and the pumpkin pie.
I would have to choose the chocolate chip cookies! classic!
If I couldn’t just have a week’s worth of food from that that site, I’d go with the strawberry shortcake! 😉 I love raw desserts!
