Eating amazing nutrient-dense, clean and low-carb meals doesn’t have to involve complex cooking or tons of time. The recipes in this series are delicious, inspired by our travels, and designed to make eating according to the Seven Principles easy and enjoyable. 

Below you will find some of our favorite sauces to eat on bowls. For each sauce, blend all ingredients, plus salt and pepper to taste, on med-high for ~30 seconds. Add a bit of water if necessary to attain desired consistency. Our sauces will keep well in a sealed container in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Oven Roasted Green Veggies (recipe here)

Salad Greens (mixed field greens, baby spinach, kale, dandelion greens, and arugula are our favorites. Much more flavor than lettuce!) (recipe post here)
