Beets & Sweet Potato Bowl with BALANCE Green Goddess Dressing

The secret sauce to eating more veggies? A Green Goddess Dressing! 

In the colder months, we crave 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 use more fresh herbs in our dressings and seasonal fruits like pomegranate. To give our immune system and mood much needed support during this season, we add gut friendly ingredients such as raw sauerkraut and of course, a healthy dose of medicinal mushroom extracts! 

Here's what you will need to make this mouthwatering and warming recipe:
