hello luvs!
glad everyone has been enjoying our recaps of our workouts! this morning we pushed ourselves and help plank for 4 mins!! it was tough, but we pushed through. a great way to start the week – feeling strong and empowered!
today we thought we would share some new snacks we are enjoying lately.
let us begin with cake
we got this recipe from our friend Heather – HEAB…everything we love about this recipe. we made it out of carob and stevia and it came out wonderfully.
reminded us of our mini cakes!
raw gluten free grain free chia brownie bites!! a new product that we are selling over at our bakery – Twin Cakes, get yourself some today 
walnut butter chia seed protein (vega) pudding.
love artisana walnut butter! this was a new addition to our beloved chia puddings. we were feeling a little extra hungry, so we added in some walnut butter to help fill us up. we do not eat a lot of nuts, but some days we just need something more to help keep us full and fueled for the day. and healthy fats always leave us feeling full and satisfied!
and we are so happy to hear so many of you have been enjoying our protein thin mints!! we told you all they are addicting 
this morning we had a skype video interview with Heather. we are apart of a free online video for Better Health. we had fun time chatting with her this morning and sharing our tips on fitness, balance, and food. check it out if you got time. our interview will go live at 4:30pm EST on Sunday, March 18.
and we are working on a follow-up skin care video to answer more questions we have received. hope to have the video up later today.
have a great Monday!
Twins Question: do you skype? do you like online video chats? anyone ever use face time on their iphones?
till next time,
L & M

I bought a bunch of those walnut butter packets a while back (and went through them really quickly!). So good for adding to morning oats!

Anna yes we keep these packs on hand for moments like these. we go through them very fast too.
OK, your muffin looks like something I would see in the window of a quaint French cafe. Mine looked like a brown sponge.

oh Heather, you are too kind. yours looked great!!
I want to try that muffin since I saw it on HEAB, I need to make it soon!
Have you two tried the new Vega?? Oh my gosh, it is so good!! I was never a huge fan of the texture on the vega, but now they really outdid themselves. It is much more smooth and delicious, I made a “vega pudding” ala pure2raw this morning for my pre-workout snack with a packet of the new original Vega One and it was super delicious. I have tried the original and the chocolate and liked them both! Although today I mixed my original with carob powder and liked that even more than the chocolate one.
Now I can say I really like vega!
Ana
Ana awesome to hear this!! and no we have not had the new ones yet. excited now though to try them.
I love all the products from artisana
I love Pecan butter as well!! So delicious!

I have still never skyped! I behind with the times
Exciting video for you two! And your brownie bites look amazing.
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather recently posted..chocolate avocado pudding
That cake looks awesome! I do FaceTime with my sister from time to time as she has an iPod Touch, not an iPhone, so it’s the easiest way to communicate with her on the go. I think she is literally the only person I know who does not have a cell phone!
I was curious if you’d consider selling raw treats with only stevia or xylitol as a sweetener. There is almost nothing like that on the market!
Bitt we are actually working on a some products with stevia!
would love to give walnut butter a try! I’m on an almond butter kick and go through a jar pretty quickly so I’d love to switch it up. And just watched the skin update video- thanks for sharing the info about msn and the allergy testing. Very interesting about the specific foods, its very interesting how bodies all react so different to different things!

it is Katie, so strange how foods play a role on different people.
You cake looks very similar to my vegan chocolate muffins, what flour did you use? My recipe uses
2 cups of wholemeal spelt flour
3 tablespoons of arrowroot powder
1 no egg
1 cup of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of mixed berries
1/4 cacao nibs
2 tablespoons of cacao
3 tablespoons of Natvia

Jessica the recipe used no flour, just flax meal, some carob, eggs and stevia. your recipe sounds wonderful! thank you for sharing.
Yummy! All of it!
I’m teaching a web-based course at the moment, so although I don’t even have text on my cellphone, I do use skype-type things. I really should use it with my parents abroad–would save so much on phonebills..

4 minutes!!!!! Serisouly you gals rock!!!!!! I am using you as an example next time I’m pushing my clients
The HEAB cake looks awesome!
I had a major sweet tooth on Friday night and I was inspired by you girls to try “baking” one of my raw almond butter ball recipes. They came out great! Thank you for the inspiration…ever since I ate the fudgy balls you girls posts {and LOVED} I was thinking about trying it!!!!

Mmm that little cake looks good! And I mustttt try walnut butter, I have been wanting to for quite some time!
I tried with chia meal instead of flax today. The kids all loved it–so did mom! I baked mine though. Microwaving changes the molecular structure of the food you nuke, right? I baked mine at 350 and it took about 35 min. Chia and flax are so delicate though….does baking them diminish their lovely healthful properties? My understanding is yes, but I’m a little ignorant. What have you learned?
Christina yes baking them loses some of the healthful properties but there should still be some left in there
glad you enjoyed it!
