The secret sauce to eating more veggies? Our Balanced Green Goddess Dressing!
In the colder months, our body craves more root veggies that help to retain heat and provide immune supporting properties, like rutabaga, beets, sweet potato & carrots. To add in some vibrant raw nutrients, we can use more fresh herbs in our dressing and seasonal fruit like pomegranate. To give our immune system and mood a much needed boost during this cold season, we can add gut friendly ingredients such as raw sauerkraut and a dose of medicinal mushrooms!
