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.

The Baked Mac n Cheese looks delicious! Mmmmm.
Just wondering…how do you make those fabulous looking raw cacao cayenne truffles? I’m flirting with idea of eating raw and plan on making my way with desserts first. Could you point me to the recipe?
it’s a version from when i worked at 105degrees- no recipe out as of yet
wow, what a hard decision! might be the chocolate cheesecake. raw chocolate is life!
I’d love to try raw Pad Thai!!
The lasagna!!! My family started eating vegan last year and I have yet to make a SUCCESSFUL lasagna!
ive been drooling over their menu for a good ten minutes! I think i’d wanna try either the hummus and onion bread, or the Mariachi Beet Wrap!
oh my gosh. just this description (“truffle atop a nutty crust”) FORCES me to choose the “Chocolate Cheesecake”! I have never really attempted to eat raw, and I think that chocolate and cheesecake, two of my favorite things, would be an AMAZING place to start!
i would totally want the blueberry pancake dippers!! everything looks so good though its hard to decide!
Eek, hard decision.
I’d probably pick the raw chocolate chip cookies though. Yummy.
Brownie bites with vanilla frosting! Holy yum! That is what I would pick fo sho 😉
The chocolate cheesecake looks amazing!!
I would def try the Baked Mac N Cheese because it looks amazing and I want to see try some more raw foods! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Hi! The jalapeno bacon poppers allure me the most; they sound and look luscious. My fiance and I strive to have one entirely raw day weekly. Plus, he’s a huge fan of the fried dairy cheese variety of poppers.
Definitely the Pad Thai!
Definitely the various salads they have. And for breakfast: banana leather crepes. YUM!
I would have to go with the chocolate cheesecake. It looks soooo good!!
Oh man! I can’t have grains or many starches (autoimmune shtuff), and the one thing I miss most is CINNAMON ROLLS. I have tried to make them and so far: epic fails. For the love of all this is good and tasty and rolled, pick me! : D
But seriously… Deliciousness! : )
I would love to try the ice cream or the pad thai! Everything looks so good!
Chocolate cheesecake fo sho! Everything looks “amaze-balls” though. 🙂 Of course when you’re pregnant, EVERYTHING looks good!
I’ve been craving Strawberry Shortcake like mad, so I would go right for the Raw version from Pure Market Express! Everything looks amazing!
Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer Cake for the win!
The no-bake cookies sound delicious! “Peanut butter cookies, meet oatmeal cookies” great idea 🙂
Choc cheesecake…awesome giveaway! Thank you!
garlic alfredo pasta!!!!!!!! YUMS!
Mmmm I would absolutely go for the strawberry shortcake. or the banana cream pie.
Or just about any other one of their delicious looking desserts!
The sushi! Definitely the sushiiiiii!!
Banana Cream Pie or No Bake Cookies!
bliss balls.
because 1) I FREAKIN’ LOVE DESSERT! can’t live without it and 2) I FREAKIN’ LOVE COCOA NIBS!!! can’t live without those either.
Holy Cow! That Chocolate Cheescake looked amazing! Thats what I want!
Wow have I been missing out!! This site is new to me, but the mac-n-cheese sounds ahh-mazing as does the chocolate macaroons! =)
Hardcore beet lover you are! Such an under appreciated little veggie.
Dude this giveaway is off the hook! All the food from Pure Market Express looks so darn delish. So hard to pick just one thing, but I’d go with the pepperoni pizza. I don’t miss too many pre-vegan foods like burgers or cheesy lasagna, or hot wings, but pizza was always a favorite! I might indulge in a vegan pizza once in a blue moon, but I’m gluten/wheat sensitive and avoid soy, so it’s either too much of a hassle or a stomach upsetting indulgence. So thank you Chef Rebecca!
Pepperoni pizza without a doubt!!!
Ohmygoodness. I had such a hard time deciding! I think that I would have to go with the Banana Cream Pie or the Cocogurt. Thank you!!!
macaroons trio!
anything with peanut butter! Yum!
I cant see the picture but I would looove to try/see the Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Layer Cake in person! It sounds soo good, I hope I win!
i’d like to try the pizza as an entree or the strawberry shortcake as a dessert!!
Wow, this is such a tough decision… I think I would definitely have to try the raw chocolate chip cookie dough though… my absolute favorite cookie! Yum!
I’d pick the raw chocolate chip cookies!
Awesome Giveaway!
I want to try it all! The cinnamon rolls look delightful.. but I would love to try raw pepperoni pizza too.
Ooh…neat giveaway!
Considering I have a wee bit of an obsession with these infamous macaroons…I’m going to go with I’d love to try their Macaroon Trio (AND the delicious fitnessista macaroons as well!)
apple pie!
Hi Gina! I’d love to try the Raw Apple Pie! Thanks 🙂
Raw Pad Thai! YUMMM
probably one of the bread products since the site says they are certified GF and I can never find bread i like!!
Is “one of everything” an option? Pad Thai, all of the desserts, the spring rolls, lasagna- especially because your review said it was easy on the nut cheese, banana cream pie, the pancake dippers…need I go on?
OMG pumpkin pie!! My favorite dessert ever!!
Absolutely would love to try the Pad Thai. Macaroons for dessert. YUM!!
I would love to try the banana cream pie. The biggest plus are the macaroons!!!
Chocolate cheesecake!
Or the chocolate chip cookies so hard to choose 🙂
I wish there was a pic of the mud pie
