Dressings: Blueberry-Pomegranate or Orange-Peanut

In case you missed support group this morning, here are the recipes we demonstrated. They are both from Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live. High in healthy fats, dairy free, vegan, and even with some protein in them, these sauces/dressings were a hit! A good blender/food processor will be a must, because all you do is dump the ingredients in there and blend until smooth! Each recipe makes 4 servings –> 4 grams protein+ folate, iron, calcium, fiber, beta-carotene

Use on vegetables, salmon, scallops, shrimp, chicken or try mixing in plain greek yogurt for a vegetable/fruit dip!
