Random but delicious eats

by Lori and Michelle on March 4, 2010

Hello luvs,

Almost the weekend I know many of you are excited about that! Though we never really get ‘weekends’ anymore. Well things have been extremely busy around here which is always a good thing right ;)

We are so happy that everyone is considering making their own fermented drinks! Promise once you make them a few times you will get the hang of it!

We definitely have been eating well over these past few days.

Going along with our Tracy Anderson workouts and Yoga, we have been running once a week. A short simple 20-25 minute run/walks. It has been great to get outside when it is nice out to stretch the legs though mainly we have been doing Tracy’s workouts!

Also we have been playing around with different pre and post workout snacks/puddings ;)

Like this one

march 2010 p2r blog 002

A pre-workout chia mesquite date ball

march 2010 p2r blog 034A chocolate coconut date ball

Both have been great still a minor tweaking to them but overall gave us the energy we need for a great workout with not being too heavy.

Some post-workout puddings we have whipped up are

march 2010 p2r blog 008

Chorella hemp seed yacon lemon pudding

Another one

march 2010 p2r blog 040

Spirulina lemon yacon pumpkin seed sludge ;)

Both of these have been great and few ingredients! Love having either pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds after our workouts because give us the vitamins and minerals to help our body recovery from our workouts along with adding lemon to help alkalize the body!  Our puddings are not as pretty as our good friend Shannon Marie’s pudding in a jar :)

Some other great eats we have been devouring are

march 2010 p2r blog 015

Raspberry coconut kefir smoothie

Snack – lightly steamed fennel and leeks

Dinner

march 2010 p2r blog 022Fermented veggies and sauerkraut arugula salad~

Another glorious dinner from a few nights ago

march 2010 p2r blog 055Sauerkraut with more steamed leeks and fennel with some steamed sweet potato. Nice and warm and comforting!

Tuesday we enjoyed our grapefruit spinach smoothie

Yesterday morning we started our day with a 14 oz fresh juice!

Since we snacked on some of these the night before (we were practicing new recipes for our Twin Cakes bakery) We were not really hungry for a large green smoothie so juice hit the spot!

march 2010 p2r blog 065Gluten free vegan banana sticky buns – recipe came out great! Love that when that happens because gluten free ingredients are not cheap ;)

Don’t worry we have lots more great eats coming :) Last night we made a delicious avocado coconut kefir pudding – we will share the recipe tomorrow! Believe me it is heavenly! :)

News:

Remember out blog t-shirts are only on sale till March 19th!!!  Keep those orders coming :)   And for those of you who were asking these are girl size shirts. Sorry guys, we will get a men’s shirt soon!

Happy Thursday to you all! xoxo

Till next time,

The Twins

Commenter #1:
Being busy is a great thing…ESPECIALLY when it’s your own business! Great to hear! So happy that you two are doing well and promoting a truly healthy and rewarding way of life! (and still finding time to blog for us readers!)

And just to let you know, I would love to work out with you two girls, just to eat your workout treats! They always look so good! Mine, not so much- and sometimes they don’t really taste that great! ha. Yours are picture perfect.

And that kraut- oh the colors!

Have a wonderful (almost weekend) day!!!

Thanks Lori!! We always try to blog once a day…we love to share with others, but time is becoming a factor.

We would love to workout with you too!! Your workouts always so intense, love it!! We have been trying to master our workout meals, we think we have finally found ones we like ; )

Have a great day!

Does the Tracy Anderson workout work??? I’ve been thinking about buying the dvd but I’m wondering how you girls like it? Thanks:)

Gina, we have been doing the Tracy mat dvd for 2 weeks, about 4-5 times a week. We love it. We have seem some results, nothing major, but know it is going to take time, but also we have not been doing much cardio. Just have not had the time, so we know that could be a factor too with our results. But we think it is a great workout for an at home workout. We do not have gym memberships, so this gets our bodies moving.

Lori March 4, 2010 at 12:28 pm

:) Someday…

Can we purchase your St. Patty’s day treats online or via email? Can you ship those things…?????

What awesome sounding puddings!! I’ve just discovered the magic of chia pudding, but you girls are on a whole different level! Have a great Friday :)

Thanks Gabriela, you are so sweet! Chia puddings are a lot of fun to make and there is so much you can do with them – flavor wise! :)

fartygirl March 5, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Smashing idea to have those little date snacks before working out. It sucks to get hungry during yoga or during a run!!! Thanks for the info about restoring post workout too. I take a highly diluted arnica tincture from Herb Pharm. But I will try pumpkin seeds too. :)
