Favorites

Hey everyone, I decided to write a post about some of my favorite things! Enjoy:)

Favorite vegetable: this is very hard since I love every vegetable ever except for raw tomatoes (I like them cooked and in dishes); it would probably have to be onions or butternut squash. Onions because I put them in every vegetable dish and they are so versatile.

Favorite fruit: oranges when they are really juicy…otherwise apples (I eat them everyday for snack)

Favorite berry: Raspberries! I know it is a fruit, but I love berries so I had to sneak those in there.

Favorite breakfast: oatmeal using steel cut oats and cooked with half a banana and flax seeds with nuts, agave, and cinnamon (sometimes berries)

Favorite lunch: packed salad with spinach/romaine, quinoa or some grain mixed with vegetables, chicken or a veggie burger, and lemon salad dressing

Favorite dinner: brown rice and bean mixture my mom makes with loads of veggies! (vegetarian)

Favorite protein: salmon…I have an obsession! I also love chicken though.

Favorite carb: sweet potatoes or quinoa (brown rice pasta on occasions:) )

Favorite fat: Truthfully, I love cheese but I haven’t been able to eat it because it causes my allergies to act up. Nuts are my favorite and avocados are right behind. 

Favorite pre-workout snack: a banana

Favorite snack: packed protein shakes with protein powder, almond milk, ice, spinach, almond butter, chia seeds, half a banana, and sometimes berries

Favorite weakness food: peanut butter…I tried switching to almond butter and sunflower seed butter, but I still have to have some PB a few times a week!

Favorite dessert: ice cream!! Chocolate chip cookie dough is amazing, but I also love gingerbread cookie, birthday cake, half baked, and basically every Ben & Jerry’s flavor ever.

Favorite healthy dessert: black bean brownies, healthy gluten-free oatmeal cookies, or 3-ingredient chocolate bars (agave, cocoa powder, coconut butter)

Favorite color: blue, but I also like pink and purple a lot. 

Favorite makeup product: mascara for sure, I love long lashes

Favorite scent: Viva la Juicy by Juicy Couture; I LOVE this perfume… it has been my favorite for several years. 

Favorite TV show: Pretty Little Liars, hands down.

Favorite movie: She’s the Man, White Chicks, or Avatar

Favorite singer: Ed Sheeran

Favorite song: It’s Time by The Imagine Dragons <3

Favorite U.S. city: Boulder, CO (I also love San Francisco)

Favorite city out of the country: Cinque Terra, Italy (I will never forgot this place…must go back in the future)

Favorite state: California (beaches, red wood forest, perfect weather…umm yes please!)

Favorite country: Italy (Caribbean islands are also beautiful)

Favorite vacation spot: Royal Caribbean cruises (Oasis of the Seas is the best boat by far)

Favorite school subject: Calculus or Chemistry

Favorite store: Whole Foods; clothes wise probably Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, AE, or Anthropologie if I could afford it

Favorite actor: Ryan Gosling

Favorite actress: Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Emma Watson, or Rebel Wilson 

Favorite form of exercise: RUNNING! Haha but really running is the best thing ever.

Favorite race distance: Half Marathon or 2 miles

Favorite running workout: Fartleks! Tempo runs are great too.

Favorite place to run: Town Lake trail in Austin, TX

Favorite brand: Nike girl for life.

Favorite shoe brand: Saucony (I also really like Brooks, it’s a toss up)

Favorite book series: Typical, but Harry Potter. I will forever wish I went to Hogwarts!

My fit role model: Kara Goucher, Olympic Marathoner. This is the picture I took while watching the marathon in London this summer. It was such an unreal experience seeing her compete four feet away from me:)
