Happy Sunday everyone!!
I have been up for 2 hours and have done nothing besides writing this long and useful post!!! Don’t you just love Sundays!! An official excuse to be lazy, right??
Anyways our friend Averie asked us to share our favorite things. It has been a topic we wanted to do just never got around to it, so when she mentioned it we thought now is a great time to share.
Twin’s Favorite Things – again these are from our own experiences you can make your own call
How we go about getting our ingredients. We do most of our shopping online although if we are low on certain ingredient and we know a local health food store around us sells it we will just by it from them. We try to buy in bulk as well because in the long run it saves you time and money.
1) Coconut Oil - best quality and tasting - Artisana Premier Organics coconut oil and coconut butter
best for your money – one gallon tub from Sun Foods
best convenient – sold in most health food stores Nutiva
Other high quality coconut oil brands we have been enjoying Vivapura and Virgin Coconut oil De Coco Creme
2) Best online stores to shop: how we shop the most are Natural Zing, Amazon, Navitas Naturals, and Mountain Rose Herbs. For specialty items Raw Food World and Sun Food.
What we have been know to buy at Natural Zing: MSM powder, kelp noodles, coconut oil, tahini, maca, lucuma, yacon syrup, chia seeds, spirulina, raw cacao powder, raw cacao nibs, camu camu, and nuts and seeds, hemp seeds
Amazon: coconut water, Artisana and Navitas Natural brand products, dehydrator, vitamix, spiralizer, mandoline, nutritional yeast
Navitas Naturals: chia seeds, raw cacao, sprouted flax meal, yacon syrup, mesquite, maca, hemp seeds, lucuma and stevia
Mountain Rose Herbs: cinnamon, turmeric, sea salt, maca, chia seeds, chorella, spirulina, dulse flakes, any spice really, green tea (for making our kombucha tea)
3) Hemp products: Best overall Manitoba Harvest (can be pricey)
Best second choice Nutiva
Other overall decent hemp protein Ruth’s Hemp (we get from Natural Zing) or buying in bulk from Whole foods or Mountain Rose Herbs
4) Stevia – powder we like the best is Sweet Leaf the packets (which you can find in most heath food stores)
Second best is – KAL Pure Stevia Extract liquid (we get from health food stores)
Third best is – Stevia powder from Navitas Naturals (this is an acquired taste)
We find to like most Stevia products but we prefer liquid forms of it the best. We know for some Stevia is hard to get used to though we have been using if for over 3 years and we hardly notice it anymore. To us it is worth the after taste or getting used to factor from it having no calories and for us it is truly the best sugar substitute. We use it a lot in our bakery and personally!
5) Other random ingredients we use and where to find them
Nutritional yeast – most health food stores sell it (RedStar is our favorite)and Amazon
Irish Moss and Sunflower lecithin – I mentioned this yesterday
Florida Crystals Organic Sugar – we use for making kombucha and water kefirs (most health food stores sell this brand)
Native Forest Unsweetened Classic coconut milk – again most health food stores should sell this
Living Harvest – hemp milk (unsweetened)
Pacific Foods – Almond milk (unsweetened) and Hazelnut milk, and Rice milk
Again how we go about purchasing these items varies every time we need something. Some times it comes down to money, convenience or brand loyalty. It really all depends what we are shopping for and what we are low on. It also comes down to personal preference and money.
This great lady also has great tips on buying in bulk. Also we know because we have done it that most health food stores allow you to buy in bulk (cases) like Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and any local health food store in your area. Just go and ask the customer service area and they should be able to help you out. Buying in bulk is great especially for a family with lots of mouths to feed! Mountain Rose Herbs again is a great place to do this as well because they offer bulk discounts to everyone and their products are organic 
We hope this list of our favorites helps you along your journey of finding great healthy additions to your lifestyle like is has ours! Please let us know if you have any specific questions.
And Lori was correct in her guess with what our dinner was from last night! Kelp noodles though we a great twist And speaking of this lovely lady she is hosting a great giveaway – an ice cream maker If you get an ice cream maker you can start making delicious ice cream like this
Cookie dough Ice Cream
Back to our dinner:
Kabocha Kelp Noodles
We blended in our roasted Kabocha from earlier this week add in some salt, leftover sage that we roasted with the squash and some water. Threw it all into the blender and blended till creamy though ours we kept on the thick side
Than created a ‘green’ sauce to over the top, you know us with our greens! Green sauce was a blend of tahini, yacon syrup, apple cider vinegar, parsley, shallot, sunflower lecithin and water! Blend till creamy. And pour on top of kelp noodles and kabocha squash mixture.
We just mixed it all together and topped with more fresh parsley
Amazing! We think all squash lovers would approve of this sauce A great way to end a Saturday night. One reason why we created this dish was to show a customer at the farmers market yesterday morning what else to do with squash. She mentioned she does not know what else to do with winter squashes and that’s when we thought of using it as pasta ‘tomato’ sauce! Although we feel this would work with any veggie dish!
We got lots of goodies lined up today for the big game! Super bowl day! We can’t wait to show you all what we come up with tomorrow 
Cheers from the Twins. We have no favorite for which team to win we just want a good game to watch and the commercials!
Till next time,
The Twins

Hey everyone
I woke up feeling a bit tired…my mind never really seemed to rest so did not get the best sleep. I had my usual pre-workout bar about 20 minutes before heading to the gym.
Gina and I headed to the gym for our morning workout.
My workout:
20 minutes of walk/run
I run for 3 minutes at 6.0 and walked at 4.1 for 1 minute
10 minutes of uphill walking
I walked at 4.0 started at incline 4.0 worked up to 6.
20 minutes of 3 min run/1 min walk (same speeds as above)
10 minutes of uphill walking
walked at 4.0 at incline 6 going up to incline 8.
Overall felt fine…legs were a little tired but I have energy! Plus I had a large appetite, which was weird because normally I am not that hungry so I made my hemp shake a little bigger and topped it was goji berries and cacao nibs. Perfect!
Today in class at 105 degrees we finished testing our final recipes
I started with my raw desserts: 3 mini creamed filled raw cupcakes
raspberry cream, banana creme, and curry cream
My work station…
Raw cupcakes come out perfect…time to fill them
I love cupcakes….YUMMY
And top them
Overall pretty satisfied but I am making some tweaks so the final on Friday will be a little different thanks to Whitney and Ladan’s feedback : )
Next up was my coconut rice sushi
They tasted great just did not held together, which takes away the point of being sushi…so I am redesigning this so check out Friday what it will be…I am excited!!
My lunch was taking my leftover fillings from my cupcakes and threw in some basil and swiss chard…kept it simple plus couldn’t waste the yummy fillings
This was so good…the bananas, coconut meat, agave, dates…so sweet just the way I like it
I started feeling a bit tired so Gina and I split
I love these cinnamon spiced brigadeiro!
Then we finished class with pricing out our recipes…ugh..I hate this part of recipe making. Thankfully I had my computer and pulled up the pricing format the sis and I use at Twin Cakes Bakery.
Well time to relax a bit before heading to yoga at the Yoga Room with Laura.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
Till next time,
Michelle

Hey everyone,
Well I apologize now but my workout was pretty much the same as the sis. Here is what I did:
About 20 minutes before leaving for the gym with Gina, I had my usual pre-workout bar.
This is a new recipe we created that the sis sent to me to try out. It contains cacao nibs for extra boost. It worked! The bar was so easy to digest and gave me all the fuel I needed to run. I never really got tired today during my run!!!
I did not have a plan today for my run, just started running and ended feeling great (I think due to my awesome yoga practice yesterday) so I ran my best 3 miles, 27 mins 40s, and ran my best 6 miles, 56 min 30 sec!
My workout:
- 6.0 for .25
- 6.1 for .25
- 6.2 for .25
- 6.3 for .25
- 6.4 for .25
- 6.5 for .25
- 6.6 for .25
- 6.7 for .25
- 6.8 for .25
- 6.9 for .25
- 7.0 still I reached 3 miles at 27 mins 40 sec.
Walked till I hit 30 minutes. Then began my 3:1.
- Ran 3 mins at 6.6
- jogged 1 min at 5.5
- ran 3 mins at 6.7
- jogged 1 min at 5.5
- ran 3 mins at 6.7
- walked 1 min at 4.1
- ran 3 mins at 6.8
- jogged 1 min at 5.5
- ran 3 mins at 6.8
- walked 1 min at 4.1
- ran 3 mins at 6.9
- jogged 1 min at 5.5
- ran 3 mins at 6.9 and 6 miles at 56 min 30 sec (woohoo)
then slowly decreased my run till I reached 6.5 miles and finished with walking the rest to get 7 miles and a total time of 70 minutes!
I was very proud of myself because I never run fast like this and for some reason it felt easy. Even though I would love to say I am getting stronger, I still felt like maybe the treadmills were off. So as you can see in my sister’s post she did a similar run and our times were pretty close. I guess the treadmills I run on here in OKC are a little off but overall I am still getting good run times in. I will take it!!!!
I definitely feel I ran so fast today without trouble was due to my yoga. I have read a lot of other runners who feel their runs improve because of yoga. Yoga really is great for everyone even serious runners because it helps stretch and lengthen the body, which our bodies need after being pounded when running. So try incorporating yoga into you routine and see how you body reacts, and remember before starting any new exercise program consult with your doctor.
My post workout shake (sorry for the poor picture)
A hand stirred hemp protein shake (we like Manitoba Harvest) with lots of goodies (maca (a must after a run), chia seeds, carob powder, turmeric, cinnamon, yacon powder, acai powder, dulse (another must)). Maca is good for stress, which we stress our body while working out so eat this to counteract that, and dulse is a natural electrolyte.
Then it was time for class at 105 degrees academy.
We finished the ingredients to make raw sweet corn tamales
First was the raw cacao mole sauce
then salsa and guacamole
made up of jicama, tomato, pasley and lime juice
I double mine so I could have some for leftovers : )
And last was the sour cream which I made mine out of mac nuts instead of pine nuts
Time to make tamales…the stuffing was the filling we made yesterday
Time to plate
And the finish product
Pretty good for my first time making raw tamales
Now I am not a huge fan of tamales and as good as this looked I just took a few nibbles of the guamole and made myself a very large green smoothie. It was full of coconut water, blueberries, apple, spinach, mint, chia seeds, cacao powder, and spirulina
This hit the spot and yes I drank it all!! I am use to normally having 1 or 2 green smoothies a day and the past few days I have not been feeling the best. I think my body was letting me know I need one and take a break from raw food, which I mean dehydrated food and nuts….oh but not dessert. I always have room for dessert.
I was packing up my Cinnamon-spiced Brigadeiro to take home and I had one : )
I luv these!!
We ended class making Papaya Tres Leches with Coconut Cream Frosting. This is a layered cake with a cake layer, vanilla custard layer and vanilla cream frosting…all tasted yummy! Of course I sampled : )
We only started the cake and will finish it tomorrow
I forgot to take a pic of the first cake layer, but check out the pictures tomorrow when we cut it!!!
Have a great evening!
Till next time,
Michelle

Hey everyone
Before I begin I must say it was very nice to wake up and see the sun!!
Okay now, I did not go out exploring yesterday. Greg (a student at the academy) and I went into 105 degrees to help out in the kitchen. It was the first week/weekend for breakfast, so it was time to remake things for this upcoming week.
I grabbed a green juice before leaving work, although it was not the best…to much ginger. It was a little hard to get down so when I got home I had some snacks to fill me up. The sis had sent me some of our Pure2raw raw cheese crackers and our famous raw onion green breads…yum!
Then Gina and I had a sleepover, both of us were tired from the week and we got a long one this week : )
We both woke up excited to see the sun because we could finally go for a run outside. Although feeling a bit sore from yoga yesterday the run was not a good one. My legs felt heavy and I just could not get going. We managed to get about a 3.5 mile run and decided we rather go eat some raw breakfast at 105 degrees.
Another wonderful raw breakfast
I ordered the Raspberry Rhapsody
raspberries, cacao nibs, brazil nut milk, blue green minerals
Gina and I both enjoy the glass straws!! I loved the flavors of this smoothie. I stuck to the raspberry theme and got this:
Raspberry Beignet
These were so good…surprisingly light. I love raspberries!
Some fun facts about this amazing berry:
- member of the rose family
- contains flavonoids that help prevent overgrowth of certain bacteria and fungi in the body
- possess almost 50% higher antioxidant activity than strawberries, three times that of kiwis, and ten times the antioxidant activity of tomatoes
- excellent source of vitamin c and manganese
- good source of fiber, b vitamins, and various minerals
- helps burn fat due to fiber keeping your full and manganese keeps your metabolic rate high
- contains lutein which helps vision
- contains strong antioxidants such as quercetin and gallic acid
- antioxidant food containing ellagic acid which may prevent cancer
- helps acne and rough skin and wrinkles
- cleanses urinary tract
- eliminates toxins from the blood stream
Sorry for the blurry picture...it was taken on my blackberry
Here is a nice raspberry smoothie
1/3 cup raspberries
1 frozen banana
1/3 cup water or nut milk of your choice
scoop of hemp or rice protein
Blend till smooth!
Well back at the hotel doing some work. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Till next time,
Michelle

Hey everyone
I woke up today a little more awake than yesterday : ) I had my usually pre-workout bar before heading to the gym. Definitely going to be adding this little bar to our Pure2Raw product line because it helps with providing the nutrients I need to succeed while exercising.
And
Brownie bite : )
Okay now I am ready for my run.
Gina and I headed to the gym…so I was determined to get a good run on the treadmill. I had no excuse not too because I was feeling good.
My workout:
- 5 min – 6.0
- 5 min- 6.1
- 5 min – 6.2
- 5 min – 6.3
- 5 min – 6.4
- 4 min – 6.5 (I got 3 miles, so improved it by 1 minute)
- 1 min – walked
Then I went into my 3:1 (run 3 min and walk 1).
I ran a good pace at 6.6 till I got a little over 5 miles. I was determined to get 6 miles under an hour.
AND I DID!!
The last mile I ran at 6.7 and finished at 58 min 30s, so improved my time be a few minutes
I was so happy and felt good, besides my lower back aching (from the hotel bed).
I really have noticed my performance improving ever since I have been making sure I eat right. Not just by eating vegan, raw foods, but eating the right food before and after I workout. My recovery time has improved as well. So I am really excited to get into my marathon training grove when I get back to NC!
My post-workout shake was a hemp protein shake with maca, sun is shining, mesquite, stevia, & cinnamon. It tasted alright…I sure miss my green smoothies that are nicely blended up and delicious!!
Well time for class at 105 degrees with Gina. Got some exciting things happening today…I am staying after class to help Gina and Kelly out with some pastries, then we are having a girls dinner tonight at 105 degrees.
Stay tuned for class pics and the dinner!!
Have a great hump day!
Till next time,
Michelle

Good evening everyone,
Today flew by for us and it seemed that all we did today was eat! : ) First we stared our day with our lemon water while we got ready for our walk outside. We only had time today to do a quick one hour walk. Our mini pre-workout snack was 1 date and coconut oil with lemon squeezed over it. So good and simple!
After our walk we had a nice refreshing juice made up of pears, bok choy, ginger, celery. It was Michelle’s creation she was feeling the asian flare today. And lucky for me it was good!
great juice after a nice workout.
Next we had our lunch which was a mix of things. We were in one of those moods where everything just seemed to sound good. First round of lunch was our chocolate coconut pudding! Delicious! Second round of lunch was a simple salad filled with romaine, lime juice and zest, nutritional yeast, garlic, fresh basil and rosemary from our herb garden. We decided our salad was not complete so we topped it off with our pumpkin sunflower seed crackers. YUM!
perfect, simple salad with seed crackers to add a nice crunch! Much healthier than croutons or chips. LOL
Our next snack of the day was plain avocados topped a lime juice drizzle and sea salt. Again another simple meal!
Finally we had a green smoothie for dinner. The smoothie was filled with apples, hemp protein, bee pollen (for energy still got a very long night ahead of us), cilantro, collard greens, and lemon. It was pretty good. Hemp protein makes it a little bit of a thick shake. Do not understand why though the hemp protein always falls to the bottom of the cup. : ( Always have to keep stirring it.
huge smoothie, we still had more in the blender to drink. got to love those greens.
Overall we both felt pretty good. Though did not do that good on our water today! Grrrr. We had decent energy levels though starting to get tired here now. Michelle’s stomach was feeling a bit bloated today. She thinks it might be due to her colonic she had yesterday. I agreed, though it was probably also due to lack of water today. Oh well, hopefully we do better tomorrow.
Twins Question: How many meals do you have in a day? Are you a person who snacks? Or do you eat 3, 5, 6 meals a day?
Till next time from our glasses to yours,

Have you heard of or done hip hop yoga?
Hip Hop Yoga is one of the newest yoga routines that is becoming big. Even celebrities like Reese Witherspoon enjoys her class of hip hop yoga according to Yoga Dork . It is mix of hip hop music, yoga and dance. We have not tried hip hop yoga until today we thought we would give it a try.
Our typical yoga is more slow and meditative. Although we sometimes mix in yoga with calisthenics, similar to the routine of Jennifer Aniston did in Self Magazine in December 2006.
Hip hop yoga is energy dance party that is athletically thrilling and spiritually soothing, so this really appealed to us. When we are looking for a quick powerful workout we mix up our yoga routine with other mini workouts like push-ups, jumping jacks, etc. We put some of our favorite feel good, motivational music and have fun. Cher is one of our favorite artists to listen to because very empowering songs, like “Song for the lonely,” and “All or nothing now.”
We enjoyed our hip hop yoga session today and would do it again. Both of us felt invigorated and empowered. We do our yoga sessions at our home because the yoga classes offered at our gym seem to conflict with our schedules. But if your gym or yoga studio offers hip hop yoga we would recommend you give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Here is what the twins at ate today:
Breakfast started with our warm glass of lemon water followed by a bowl of fresh blackberries, figs, and a granny smith apple. Our bodies were craving fruit so we listened and felt great. It was simple and sweet!
Mid-morning snack was 2 slices of banana bread from Twin Cakes Bakery.
Yummy gluten free vegan sugar free banana bread
Then a little later we were still hungry so had ourselves one slice of Pure2 raw onion spinach bread. It is so addicting!!
Workout was 45 minutes of hip hop yoga!!
Lunch (more like post workout shake) was a very powerful green smoothie. We decided to give our new Hemp Protein powder with E3Live & Maca that we received the other day a try. The other additions to the smoothie were romaine, coconut water, stevia, cinnamon, acai powder, and fresh lemon juice. This was a strong flavored smoothie, which just made us feel more empowered. Nothing like having a good yoga workout followed by a power smoothie. The reason for the power is the Hemp with E3Live&Maca. Hemp is a great source of protien, maca contains many trace minerals, good for endurance, improves energy levels, and concentration, and E3Live is a high-potency Blue-green algae that has more protein & chlorophyll than any food and it increases energy, enhances brain function, and raises your sense of well-being. Yep a power smoothie!!
Mid afternoon snack part 1:
We made ourselves a raw cacao mint “coffee” drink. We love to make up raw “coffee” drinks when we need that extra boost. We used to be big coffee drinkers, so having something similar to it helps keep us away from coffee. The one we made today was full of water, mesquite, raw cacao powder, mint, stevia, and lucuma. It was smooth and simple!
Twins Raw Coffee
Snack Part 2:
We were still a bit hungry and wanted to be full for the farmers market, so we had 2 more slices of our Pure2 raw onion spinach bread with our pumpkin pesto and a few slices of swiss chard. It was satisfying and simple!
Lori enjoying her raw sandwich
Dinner was a large salad…and we ate it all. It was a mix of green lettuces, dandelion leaves, leeks, radishes, and simple dressing of fresh lemon juice, yacon syrup, apple cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Yes nutritional yeast is on all our salads : ) the twins cannot get enough of this stuff. The salad was simple and filling!
Michelle ready to dig in!
Night! It has been a long day,
The Raw Twins

We were just enjoying a delicious blueberry smoothie after lifting weights at the gym and we were discussing how this has greens in it but it is purple. We asked ourselves, “Is it still a green smoothie if the color is not green?” We think so because it is more an idea of having greens in your fruit based smoothie to make it more alkaline. When you use fruits that naturally stain, like blueberries, blackberries, etc. it changes the color of the smoothie. We actually think these are easier for most people to drink because it is not green.
Purple Power smoothie
This purple power smoothie is made with blueberries, coconut water, maca, hemp protein (which is green), parsley (which is green), Sun is Shining (again green), and stevia. It was tasty!!
What do you think?
Do you base the value of the smoothie by its color? Taste? Ingredients?
We enjoy having smoothies that are different in color because it helps us know we are getting the colors of the rainbow. This is a good indicator that you are getting variety in your diet.
The Raw Divas did a great post on this very concept of eating colors of the rainbow. Getting different colors of foods into you diet helps you attain different vitamins and minerals that each fruit and vegetable has to offer.
The goal for today is to try to get the colors of the rainbow into your meals and reap the benefits.
Enjoy

Hello everyone
Hope everyone had a great weekend and are looking forward to another week : ) We are so amazed how quickly time goes…is it really July 12? Wow it sure is true when you are busy time just passes you by that you do not always get a chance to slow down and enjoy life. You only get one life, so better start taking better care of yourself, right?
Well we do not typically go out much because we are busy with work and if we do have free time we usually try to get some sleep or workout longer than 45 minutes, which is what we typically can only get most days. So we decided to take a night off from doing work and do something with our friends. We went to a local restaurant in Durham called Mez. It is a contemporary Mexican restaurant. Not only did we hear a lot of good things about this restaurant but it uses local and organic ingredients. How cool is that! Also it is North Carolina’s first LEED designed restaurant. Bonus!! The atmosphere is very chic and modern. We sat outside because it actually was a gorgeous night. The sis and I got the house salad, with out pine nuts and cheese. The guacamole appetizer was ordered, which we enjoyed putting on our salads. Now you can’t go to a Mexican restaurant and not get a margarita. We got one even though we will feel it later. It was made with fresh lime juice that has to count for something, right ; )
Lori enjoying a glass of wine before we head out.
We had a great time chatting outside. It is always great to catch up with friends and really just relax. We do not get that luxury often because as any business owner knows your company becomes your life. And we sure can attest to that fact. Our friends have been great though, really understanding that we cannot get together as often as we like. Although after having such a good time, we are going to try to work on “fun” time with our friends. You only live once.
Michelle is ready to go out to dinner with friends.
So this morning was a bit tough getting up early. We slept in and tried not to feel guilty about the activities we did the previous night. We enjoyed our morning cup of lemon water as we debated what we wanted to eat. Knowing that we should take it easy did not seem to help with the hangover side. We made today our high calorie day because it was just one of those days. All we wanted to do was lay around and eat…sounded good, but we did manage to be productive.
We made ourselves again our peach buckwheat porridge to help curb our hungry appetite. Then we somehow found motivation to clean the place. Putting loud music on helped : ) Then we went to Whole foods to get some groceries for the week that we could not get at the farmers market….like cherries, coconut, and some more greens of course. We got back from the store had a little snack, which was a raw cacao av0cado wrap with coconut butter spread on top. Yum.
Raw cacao wrap with coconut butter sprinkled with cinnamon
Then we changed into workout clothes and headed outside for a run. Ran for 45 minutes came back and did some yoga, push ups, ab work, and a little kickboxing. Yes we did all that despite how we felt. We did not let our laziness take over us. Okay, we were moving at a little slower pace than usual. Gulped down a hemp protein shake made with coconut water (best thing to drink after a night of drinking), maca (good for stress), and chlorella (must have our greens).
Green hemp shake
After taking a shower and feeling refreshed we did some work and cleaning up. We managed to make 3 rounds of our very popular raw kale onion bread. It is currently dehydrating so the place is not so quite anymore. Now for dinner we had some broccoli we got from a farmer and decided we will attempt making a raw cheese sauce to go over the broccoli. In food processor we threw in soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, turmeric, a little cayenne pepper, fresh rosemary and basil and some water to thin it out.
Raw broccoli and cashew cheese
We love salads!
We had a simple green salad on the side with lemon dressing. We topped our salad with fresh garlic and artichokes. The artichokes are not raw, but we love them. They are really good for the liver, another thing good to have after some drinking. Well we are pretty tired from this weekend, but we wanted to let you know what we will be writing about this week ahead. Topics: seeded vs seedless watermelon, figs, more about why we went raw, another book we love, ‘Eating for Energy’ So please check back in.
Take care, till next time
