Butter Lettuce Buffalo Burger
1 grass-fed buffalo patty
2 large butter lettuce leaves
1/8 c gorgonzola
1/2 c chopped mushrooms
1/4 c chopped red onion
1 T low-sodium soy sauce
1 T olive oil
2 large butter lettuce leaves
1/8 c gorgonzola
1/2 c chopped mushrooms
1/4 c chopped red onion
1 T low-sodium soy sauce
1 T olive oil
Fire up the grill! Prepare chopped mushrooms and onion and saute in olive oil and soy sauce over medium heat until soft. When the grill is hot, add buffalo burger and cook about 6 minutes per side. Add the gorgonzola to the burger and allow to melt on the grill for a minute or two. The butter lettuce acts as your bun for reduced calories and a healthy substitute. Load your burger with the sauteed mushrooms and onions and enjoy. You may need an extra napkin! Great along with sweet potato fries.

TEAM MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Jasmine PinaExperience/Current Course of Study: Three years in the fitness industry, specializing in group fitness. I am currently focusing on growing as an instructor with Indoor Cycling, Indo-Row, Yoga Body, Fit Body, TRX and hopefully Pura Vida's MVE program.
Your First Job: Wow! First job ever was in the mall food court and Chuckwagon Chili.
Your Wellness Philosophy: I believe if you don’t have your wellness, then you don’t have anything.
Childhood Ambition: You mean besides becoming a princess? I think it’s fair to say, I always enjoyed being in the spotlight. I remember wanting to act, sing and dance.
Proudest Accomplishment: First and foremost - my two children Ronin and Sloan. But I’d have to say landing my dream job and becoming team member of the month here at Pura Vida comes pretty close.
Indulgence: Which one? I’d have to say that’s a toss-up between burgers with fries and the spiciest chicken wings imaginable.
Inspirations: I have been blessed with an unwavering passion for this industry. I want to help as many people as I can transform their bodies, their minds and their lives. I don’t want to be a good wife, mother, instructor, and entrepreneur . . . I want to be an AMAZING one!
