Upside Down Deliciousness
This post may contain affiliate links.
Good morning, well almost afternoon! I hope you’re gettin’ back into the groove of life after the long weekend. Major unpacking goin’ on round here as well as picking up some stuff for the house like I mentioned before, a bit of a shop-a-thon has been goin’ on. I admit, it’s been freakin’ ah-may-zing to shop for new stuff for the crib. I will post pics and give you the 411 after things start arriving, not to worry.
Glad you enjoyed yesterday’s Sunbuttah on the Oats action. Miss Broccoli was astute enough to note that the Sunbutter was shaped in an S. Now that’s what I call observant! Totally random coincidence.
Speaking of lovin’ the Sunny B, here’s Skylar eating it straight off the knife
And then I sampled some Sunbuttahhhh on some Mary’s Crackers. I hope I don’t O.D. on this stuff.
Also still munchin and groovin’ on watermelon. I ate it alone and allowed for proper food combining. Thank you very much!
I whipped us up a fruity smoothie with an orange, 2 apples, 1 large banana, a couple pieces of dried unsweetened unsulphured mango from TJ’s, cinn, and dash of vanilla agave. Threw it all into the VitaGod…
…And out emerged our raw liquid brekkie.
I have to continue to thank the Fitnessista for her culinary genius that is the Breakfast Cookie. I have to say that I am in total love. Another one of those things I hope I don’t O.D. on.
Into this one went 1/3 c dry oats, 1 scoop Vanilla Sun Warrior BRPP, cinna, 2 tbsp agave, dash vanilla, and 1 packet of NuNaturals Stevia.
I like making it in these little containers because then it has a lid and if I need to make room in da fridge, I don’t have this random plate just hangin’ out takin’ up way too much space. Kinda like the empty moving boxes on the side of the house are.
Put the VitaGiant to continued use by whippin up some dairy free softserve. 2 bananas, 1/8 c vanilla almond milk, 2 packets of NuNaturals Stevia, dash of sugar, dash of vanilla. Blend for about 45 seconds and don’t overblend for all the Type A types who like to overdo it. More is not better here.
And yeah, this bad boy was definitely thick enough. Look Mom, I’m Upside Down! Here was a previous attempt that wasn’t quite thick enough in case ya missed it.
Enjoy, savor, and lick the canister clean like it’s your job.
After some really awesome runs here, and yeah, it’s hot but not really bothersome hot for me, I came in for some yoga.
:)

What’s everyone’s favorite go-to knife? I have some Henckle’s and Wusthof’s, but am in need of a large, chopping knife for everything from apples to zukes and cukes, to mini watermelons, large peppers, ya know, your basic raw rabbit food that I need to chop, chop, and chop some mo’.

Hello!
As an avid blogger and nutrition junkie I was so excited when I found Love, Veggies, and Yoga! Being vegan and eating raw as often as possible is an OBSESSION for me because I have so much fun concocting and being aware of the food I eat. As a 19 year old college student in Chicago, it's not always easy finding room in my budget for the happy hours I spend at Whole Foods on groceries. I love Stevia and use it everyday. Winning this contest would give me that much more of a chance to experiment with your healthy, raw recipes in my kitchen (they look mighty tasty, I can't wait to try you chocolate thing mints!) Thanks for the great opportunity!
I'm a follower now ;)
Oh, I'd love to try the NuNaturals stevia, and perhaps be convinced to ditch the Splenda. I have a feeling I may use too much splenda, and I have an even greater feeling that maybe I shouldn't be consuming Splenda at all!
Duh! Why didn't I see this sooner?! Obviously I would love to win these products so I could add them to my Sweetener Smackdown. If I post before tomorrow, I will def link back. Have a great day girlie!

i would love to win this stuff because i'm very sensitive to sugar, but i refuse to use artificial sweetners. i've never tried NuNaturals but it sounds great. thanks for the giveaway!
I linked back in this post!
I just added you to my blogroll!
I just became a follower!
I would love to try NuNaturals – the idea of an all natural sweetener with no bitter aftertaste? Yes please!
This is a great giveaway – thanks so much!

I want to win it!! I can't find this anywhere!!
And I will take credit again for joining the followers box. :) Tired of me yet?
Free Stevia, yes please–dying to try the liquid/flavored kind.
Hi there,
I would love to win some Stevia as I try to use alternative sweeteners whenever possible. I usually default to Agave, but would love to work Stevia into the mix as it is even lower on the glycemic index! I've also added you to my blogroll and I'm a follower now! :) (#1, 2, and 5!)
I am a big fan of Stevia and would love to win your awesome contest. The fact that NuNaturlas has been around 20 years says a lot about this company!
I'm anxious to try this to see if it's really non-bitter:) Thanks for the chance Averie!!
Just added you to my blog roll!

Hooray for an Oregon Company!
OOO! I am dying to try Nu Naturals!! Thank you so much for giveaway!!!
i would love to win this. sugar makes me feel so down, id like to try this company because right now i use a whole foods brand.
emily
this sounds like it would be great in baking projects!!!
p.s. of course i'd follow you, life would not be complete if I didn't :)
alright alright, you convinced me – but only 'cause I realized I am a greedy bloggie and those sweeteners would be magic in my oats and java!
I just posted to my blog.
I would really like to try this product. We've been attempting to include alternative sweetners since my daughter has dental issues (weak enamel) but we still want her to be able to share in an occasional "sweet."
Hey Averie!
I would love to give the alcohol free Vanilla a try! I just ran out and the old regular kind and have been curious about this!
so this is entry #1, #2, and #3 because You are on my blogroll and I am a follower too.
THANKS for some FUN

This is by far my favorite giveaway in the blogworld and I have yet to win…I should buy stock in the company…I love everything they make!!!!
I really really want to try these because as far as I tried different brands of stevia, no one convinced me yet. These seem to have better taste, so I'd love to try it out! :)
Just wanted you to know that I added you to my blogroll. It's so much easier to get to your blog that way.
Entry #5 – I've already added you to my blogroll. :-)
Oh, and I didn't forget #3 – I just haven't posted yet. I'll come back for that entry in a bit.
Entry #4 – I posted this contest on Facebook!
Entry #2 – I'm already following your publicly. :-D
Entry #1 – I'd love to win NuNaturals Stevia packets and liquid because I love keeping Stevia packets with me when I'm out. They're very convenient when I buy an unsweetened tea. Also, I'd love to have the liquid to use in recipes–especially sweet creations I might come up with for the dehydrator! :-D
Ooh! Great giveaway! Stevia is my sweetener of choice, so I would love to try a new brand. I've always used NOW foods, but this brand looks worth a shot!
You're on my blogroll, too :)
I'm a follower!
Stevia is my sweetner of choice, but I've never tried the NuNaturals brand (I love Now Foods stevia). I'd love to give it a taste test :)
I would love to try the vanilla in my coffee and the packets would be great for baking!!!!
You are already on my blog roll, I will post your give away tomorrow am!
i have not yet tried stevia! you are having amazing giveaways, thanks :)
Oh and I'm now a follower!
This is such an awesome giveaway! I heart NuNaturals. It is the only stevia I've tried that I can't live without!
I totally wanna try this stuff!! I need to stop with the splenda and on with the stevia!
Entry #2: tweeted!
Ooh, I've never tried stevia before! I've heard about this brand and I would love to test it out.
Hey there! I just started using stevia, but haven't tried NuNaturals yet. I'm especially curious about the vanilla liquid stuff – my mom's diabetic, but sometimes craves those sugary latte drinks. This sounds like a great solution!
wonderful giveaway!
I would like to win to share them with my family. thanks!
it would be a great way to add in just about anything. oats, greek yogurt, baked goods, and green monsters.
What a great giveaway! I would be so excited to win. We use stevia in our smoothies every morning and I carry a bottle of liquid stevia in my purse for those unplanned stops at the local coffee shop. But I've not tried the NuNaturals brand yet so Id love to give it a try. Thanks!
Oh yeah, and already a follower :)
Everyone keeps posting about this awesome NuNaturals. I have been dying to try it! Hubby does groceries lately, and isn't into trying new things, so convincing him to buy this has been torture.
Oh I'm so tempted to enter this giveaway, I bet this stuff would be great in my coffee and oats :) but alas, I don't want to be a greedy bloggie after last times win so I suppose I shall leave this for another lucky reader ;) Thanks though chica – you spoil us!
