Tropical carrot cake bars

by Lori and Michelle on March 18, 2010

Hello friends,

It is almost time for Fitbloggin :) Why do we always wait to the last minute to get things done?!?!?! So much to and such little time!

But besides running around like mad women we have been eating some things! So glad to see that everyone loved hearing about Averie’s story! Thanks again Averie your the best!

A rich creamy and thick green smoothie (on Monday Michelle and I knew this week was going to be crazy so we went ahead and made all our smoothies so they were ready for later this week) We are so smart ;) Therefore by letting our smoothies sit in the fridge helped make them thick (from the sunflower lecithin) and delicious.

I think this green smoothie was apples and kale. Perfect way to start our day after our Tracy Anderson Workouts!

Another shake was for lunch

Dinner a few nights ago was steamed brussel sprouts with some sauerkraut (sorry for the not so pretty pictures we used Michelle’s phone to take this)

A few days ago we enjoyed a simple snack of roasted fennel and fermented veggies on top.

Another snack from yesterday was steamed broccoli with rosemary and cumin on top. We love cumin and we know the lovely Lauren does too!

Dinner was some fresh lettuce from a local farmer with fresh cilantro and more sauerkraut.

And last night in honor of St. Patty’s Day we enjoyed a large GREEN spinach parsley salad with more sauerkraut on top!

march 2010 p2r blog 781 We threw some onions, dulse flakes and turmeric in there!

Phew that was a lot of food to cover. Now time to go and deliver some gluten free cupcakes to some clients then back here to pack and finish things for FitBloggin :)

Till next time,

Lori

Have a blast at fitbloggin ladies! What Tracy Anderson video do you like? I’ve been considering giving one a try after doing the one she posted on GOP.

Lisa we have Tracy’s Mat DVD. We love it, have been doing it for 3 weeks. We plan to look into her other DVDs, just have not got around to it yet.

Mmmmm carrot cake. I really gotta get on this recipe already!
What a good idea, making your smoothies ahead of time.

So wish I could be at Fitbloggin. So many cool gals are going to be there! Next year, perhaps? :)

I so love the way you two eat, and lime and avocado in the carrot cake? Um, YUM! So glad the coconut butter worked out for ya. Others have had a few mishaps.

Have so much fun this weekend, and please tell everyone I said “hello”!

Thank you Natasha!!

Must say, you two ladies eat very well. Isn’t life great! I feel so bad for those eating a very SAD diet. They’re missing out on life! I made your carrot cake (well a version of it) and it was amazing! The frosting I made needed work but hey, it’s a start. I’m blogging about it today! Funny!

Stephanie March 18, 2010 at 7:58 pm

I think I”m going to start a tally of foods that you ladies have introduced me to that I am in love with! Maca, coconut oil, kefir… and we’re still going…. ;)

Can’t wait to meet you tomorrow night at FitBloggin!
