We are on day 11 already of the #plantPOWER challenge and today’s theme is lunch!
Before we get to lunch, let’s get to this morning’s workout!
Workout
After wrestling with my DVD player for 15 minutes (I’m a real treat with technology sometimes), I finally got it up and running! I completed the Bikini Sculpt routine from the Tone It Up Beach Babe DVD and then decided that I wanted an extra burn for my booty. I turned to K&K’s Lift & Tone Booty Routine. After a solid strengthening and toning workout, I winded down with Tara Stiles’ Calming Routine and 5 Move for Tight Hips. I felt so energized and focused!
#plantPOWER Lunch
When it comes to lunch, I eat a variation of the same thing every day: a gigantic salad. I use the word gigantic because it is not uncommon for me to using large baking dishes for salad bowls. I mean, 5 cups of greens takes up a lot of space! I crave a big bowl of veggie goodness every day – it’s like clock work. Here’s a peak at today’s masterpiece.
- Kale
- Pea shoots
- Shredded carrots
- Broccoil
- Roasted Brussels sprouts (invisible but they’re there!)
- Sauerkraut
- Hummus
- Coconut aminos
- Kasey’s Creamy Tahini Nooch Sauce
Quinoa, chickpeas, kale, broccoli, and hemp seeds, and chia seeds tossed in my homemade daiya sauce.

Yum! All your lunches look amazing, per usual!! Sadness our chat got cut short because of my internet connection I forgot to tell you that I will have that recipe in tomorrow for you! Love you!
omg how do you eat so many veggies without getting bloated? I love my veggies but I have so much “digestive issues” lol if I eat such a huge salad!
we need to go the beach babe dvd again, we enjoyed those workouts. love the TIU girls! we dont measure either, everything is eyeballed
more fun that way and less stress.
So many supports of #plantPOWER. I love seeing that! I have been wanting to try a lot of those brands. You know I already love my Barre and Attune. I recently accepted an offer to work with Muir Glen in the future which I’m even more excited about now that I see they are supporting you & Kasey. And ohhh I spy your beloved protein powder!
My coworker came down with a stomach thing and I suggested your ACV concoction to her! Unfortunately she hated the taste like your bestie Raquel. I am thankful that I actually kinda enjoy how it tastes! I still can’t quite put my finger on what it tastes similar to to me…maybe pickles?
What serving sizes do u do for your nuts/seeds, avos, and coconut oils for your meals and snacks?
I sort of eye ball things according to what I know my body wants. I try not to pay attention to serving sizes too much because I like to eat intuitively. That being said, probably 1/4 cup for nuts, 1/3-1/2 avocado, and 1 Tbsp coconut oil.
