Happy 4th of July Eve! And because we have reason to celebrate freedom this week, I am going to freely celebrate my loves come lately. My loves at first bite and site.
Love at first BITE…
Fresh figs filled with sunbutter.
New Healthy Bite Flavors: Vegan Cherry Chocolate Chia, Strawberry Lemon Protein, Toffee Peanut butter Chocolate Chip.
My own version of pasta carbonara. Looks like mush, tastes delicious, promise! I used these GF sweet potato buckwheat noodles, 2 eggs, brewers yeast, coconut oil, avocado, nitrate free Canadian bacon (or can use tempeh bacon), and lots of CHOLULA sauce.
Love at first SITE…
Sarah over at Always Training Trio is the amazing designer of these new workout skirts. I got my hands on one last week and fell in love. The navy and lime green is a great combo. The cool thing about these skirts is that you can wear any kind of compression gear underneath. For instance, I have cycling capris that I wear underneath when I teach spin, and compression shorts for all other activity. The material is super light and comfortable. No I did not get paid to say that either. Heck, I might just wear the skirt out as an outfit with tights underneath. That allowed, right Sarah?
Check out www.atticaathletic.com for more of their fun colors and styles.
And finally.. the last Love at first SITE…
The site of my clients face when I gave her this hill workout to do.
Let’s just say her face was priceless, but she did awesome! As I knew she would!
What are your recent love at first sites and bites?
Happy 4th!
Cheers,
LC

I may have to place an order for those toffee peanut butter chocolate chip… OH MY.
I made some REALLY good nori rolls tonight – raw and vegan – the filling was a ginger wasabi pate and assorted crunchy veggies… that was love at first bite – my Dad + brother loved them, Jason declared them better than sushi!
(he loves his sushi…)
love at first sight – right now, looking at Jason and Basil, asleep on the couch. my favorite!

I want those nori rolls. You see, if we were neighbors, i could come over with healthy bites for dessert and we could eat, drink, and be merry.
aww, see?! yes. this should happen. Portland is much cooler than Austin, at least in temperature…
Kris recently posted..Jason’s Birthday Cookie
yes yes, 1000x yes!
oh sweetheart! All of those new flavours made my mouth water! Seriously!!!! YUM <3 I also love your pasta dish! Something I NEED to make! I love that creation! Carbonara was my favourite
Meg recently posted..WIAW: Fun, Food, Fitness #1
mine too! i like that this one is a little more buttery.
WOW, those sunbuttery figs, that nutrient PACKED delicious pasta, and the amazing healthy bite flavours, Oh my! My mouth waters- this is *exactly* my kinda food:).
I am going to make that carbonara ASAP.
The workout skirts are pretty neat, a lovely unique idea. I know you’ll look totally cute in yours!

Uh, that hill workout would throw me for a loop, too! I think I may try it.
Love at first site hmm…not sure. But love at first bite…Coconut Bliss ice cream!

I made some GF vegan chocolate cupcakes recently that were love at first bite. I have been a choco-holic lately!

Miz recently posted..Fireworks & *FITBLOGGIN*!
oh now that’s what i like to hear!
That looks like an awesome workout that I’m probably going to hate, but I pinned it anyway! And I’m totally doing it this week!
My love at first bite? Well, I have to say, my world’s been FULL of tasty bites lately…don’t know what’s come over me, but I’ve got recipes coming out of my ears! If I had to pick a favorite though, I’d have to say my Orange Creamsicle Protein Muffins…I finished off the last the other day and then, forgetting that particular detail, reached for one yesterday morning…oops! Looks like I’ll have to make more!
Love at first site? I found this photo gallery site the other day that has just about everything on it (http://www.kulfoto.com/)…needless to say it’s helping fuel my Pinterest addiction even more!
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli recently posted..WIAW: Pumped Up Meals

I’ve never actually had fresh figs before
That is such a cute workout skirt! A recent love at first bite for me was Elk! I never thought I would have enjoyed eating elk, but it was really good 
Sarah @ Feeeding Brain and Body recently posted..Better Late Than Never
sarah, find yourself some figs! so much you can do with them. oh i bet they’d make a good sauce with ELK!
Haha oh the face of people when they are given a challenge. I’m glad to hear she did well with the workout! That skirt is adorable!! You should totally wear it out as a normal one
. I hope you have a fantastic holiday Linds!

Heidi @BananaBuzzbomb recently posted..Happy 4th Of July – Be Independent!

Love at first bite definitely has to go to the sticky toffee pudding I had a few weeks ago in England!
Leah @ Chocolate and Wild Air recently posted..Independence Day
care to share? haha, i wish. I love toffee pudding!
The Healthy Bites look delicious!
Love at first bite: warm oatmeal on a rainy morning after a swim.
Love at first site: my pup lying on our packed bags, sad that we’re leaving him. Little does he know he’s coming with us!
Have a fun holiday!
Abby @ Change of Pace recently posted..Long weekend indulgences
thats precious! i wish i could see all those pictures!
Fun post! Love at first site? The ample space we have since we don’t (yet) have kids and pack minimally for our first-ever canoe trip! Also love? The fact that next time we will NOT pack backpacking food and instead bring steaks – you can fit a TON into a canoe!
Love at first bite? A dollup (or three) of almond butter with just about anything…and lately I’ve been loving cheese. I forgot how good it is.
Bonnie recently posted..Refreshed by Creation and Community

girl i thought of you, you’d love this workout! report back!
Those skirts are adorable!
Charissa recently posted..Fourth of July Desserts
and so comfy!
I like the skirts, but maybe I am weird, I don’t like the fact they don’t have something built in! It’s one more thing for me to have to worry about packing in my bag or losing
no, that makes total sense. I thought the same until i tried it out. Either way, both are good options. ya know?
p.s.
i think my comment on your blog went to spam
I’m loving my beach hair…I haven’t washed it since I got back from the island on Sunday and it’s still rocking. I love the ocean, relaxing on the beach, and floating around in the water. It makes me so happy! Hence why I’m going back real soon. Life is too short right? xoxo
She Rocks Fitness recently posted..Back To Reality + WIAW
can i come with you? I think we are both destined for the beach, wine, running, and more!
Figs+Sunbutter?! I have BOTH of those items in my fridge! Why oh why have I not thought of putting them together?!
well, here’s your push. GO! Get ‘em! so good! especially in greek yogurt!
Cute skirt!! I’ve never actually tried sunbutter?! I have not a clue why? Love at first sight today was looking at kittens! Holy moly, so adorable!
Lisa recently posted..WIAW #15
lisa, get yourself some sunbutter. You might just be an addict soon. Join the club. haha
Yum, those flavors look awesome! Strawberry lemon?! My stomach just growled! Love the workout skirt too and would totally wear that as an outfit too
how cute would you look in that skirt for barre9? um.. so cute, and hot!
The Ocean HAHAH!!! I love the water especially since this summer has been a SCORCHER LOL
. Bites hmmmm… Your Healthy Bites of course LOL and sweet potato in anything!
tell me about it! the heat is on! maybe i need to come visit you by the ocean.
Um … Toffee peanut butter chocolate chip? Yes please! Yum!
Also, I have yet to see a fresh fig in person other than at a restaurant.
Calee recently posted..WIAW \\ KC Edition
what?! You need to find a figgy wiggy! It’s delicious in FROYO… not ice cream. hehe
awesome hill workout! i love those
Alysia @ Slim Sanity recently posted..coconut banana chocolate chip muffins
definitely. good for the booty! yea!
There are so many foodgasms in this post – it’s out of control! Sunbutter stuffed figs?! Sweet potato-based noodles?! GOOD LORD. Love it. There’s nothing like challenging your clients, too. And the look on their faces when they’ve accomplished something greater than they thought is amazing. That’s probably because you’re a fantastic leader, though.
Hehe, love you!
Heather @ For the Love of Kale recently posted..A 4th of July to Remember
oh thank you heather. i just adore you! Big ol’ hug!
Ohhhh… Strawberry Lemon Protein?? I’m intrigued! How much protein?
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..4th of July and Paleo Oatmeal
i make them so there are about 3-4 grams per bite. Perfect for post workout munchies!
LEMON! i love anything lemon. actually all the flavors sound fun and tasty! those skirts are SUPER cute!
janetha [meals & moves] recently posted..fitmixer bootcamp check in.
dang, i should have sent you some lemon vanilla whey bites. They are tasty! hey, give randy a smooch from Sadie. Happy bday to him.
I can say that I would totally love the fig with sunbutter…and all the Healthy Bites! But for non-virtual loves, I’m totally stuck on homemade peanut butter cups right now. And meatballs with beef liver in them for an after workout snack.
And my excessively growing collection of lululemon run crops (I like the excels because they’re lower rise).
Lisa recently posted..Summer Dinner: Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese
that sounds like a mighty fine bite!! Do you chop the beef liver? I’m intrigued!
LOVE the skirt!! Your Healthy Bites always make me so hungry. Mmmmm!
Jan recently posted..Galva Freedom Fest, Runner’s World Summer Running Streak Finale, and Happy Fourth of July!
I wish i could come feed you some healthy bites. Perfect for all your fun races!!
oooooh THAT SKIRT.
I love at first sight because it looks like a tutututu
Miz recently posted..Nia: Dance fitness that will surprise you (guest post).

love at first bite–raw zucchini noodles with avocado + nutritional yeast dressing, plus fresh herbs. so simple but i couldn’t get over how good it was!
oh wow, that sounds like one amazing bites. Can’t go wrong with fresh herbs either!
Wow, I haven’t eaten fresh figs in such a long time that I don’t know how they taste like! I bought a blouse the other day which I loved when I spotted it, although I didn’t actually need one. But well, I just felt like giving it to myself.
Kath (My Funny Little Life) recently posted..The Others and Me
i bet that blouse looks gorgeous on you too! i bet you’d like fresh figs wrapped with prosciutto and baked! or with pork. So delicious!
I bet you look gorgeous in that skirt – photo please!
Petra recently posted..Thought for the day
