Brunost!

Look what I found in Whole Foods!

This is a Norwegian deilicacy, called brown cheese. Made of goatmilk. Very good, but extremely sweet and with obscene amounts of sugar. If that doesn't bother you, do try! I wonder if Ski queen (who the hell came up with that name?) tastes different than the original G35 or whatever it's called. One stupid little detail: the website directs you to Tines web, which is all in Norwegian. What's the point of that, I wonder.

In my basket

Stocked up on some goodies from Whole Foods, including raw bars from two moms in the raw (eating a piece as we speak, they are deliiiiicious) that I wrote about here. Other favourites from this shelf are the chocolates, the granola and the kale chips (easy to make at home, but the cheesy ones are oh so yummy I can't resist to sneak one in my basket). Everything without sugar, milk, flour... or anything heated above 46 degrees celsius. Super candy!

Some fresh kale and acrylic paint on that, and the evening is complete! I was also juggling a huge canvas I got from the art supply store, while trying to keep my bike straight, multo dangeroso. But I felt so happy looking down at my basket and my flappering canvas, because all of a sudden I realised that I'm actually lucky enough to do whatever I feel like doing everyday, and if that isn't happiness, then I don't know <3

Rice, rice baby

I can't believe I haven't discovered this until now; the best way to buy rice and lentils is at Whole Foods, picking whatever you want from these barrels. They have everything; mixes of white rice, brown rice, brown rice, wild rice, jasmine rice, brown lentils, red lentils, yellow lentils, black lentils, puy lentils... you get the point. And it looks cute!

Addicted

So, yes. Whole Foods. What can I say. I can’t be let loose in there all by myself. One word of wisdom though; the raw bars in front are HEAVEN. They only consist of the kiiiind ingredients you see here, they have like one tenth the calories of a chocolate bar and they taste ten times better, although they can’t really be compared to chocolate… They taste exactly like freshly picked raspberries, I swear. And the cutest thing is that a stay-at-home mom invented these little finger lickers. Cred. I’ll bring a suitcase full when, if ever, we come back.  In the meantime, check out their web.

Oh, and they actually sell them at iherb! Well, not these exact bars, but granola bars with chia, cinnamon and gojis. They’re real goody too. Aaaand now I'm hungry. I can't wait to get a bike so I can jump on it and pedal to WF whenever the cravings set in. Sweet.

A green one!

I've been doing this for a while, but if you live in SoCal you HAVE to start your day with a green shot. There's a law on that. Mine has wheatgrass, chlorella, spinach, carrot, apple, celery and water. Gött! Now, a home spa with my Whole Food finds (it just took me 20 mins to walk there! Who says you need a car. Hah.)

Later, Hermosa Beach SURF FEST! Kicks off tonight with some kind of lifeguard competition, oh my god how could I miss that?!

Yummy!

La-la land Day 3 - Crazy for chlorella

WHOLE FOODS. It's a blessing of a supermarket! They have whole shelves with superfoods, greens, raw food, organic veggies, vitamins, coconut water... Ended up spending 100 dollars, to P's delight. Was told I couldn't do the weekly shopping here. Hm, I wonder why. I WANT TO BE RICH
