Spinach, quinoa, roasted beets, dried blueberries, and sliced almonds, topped with a blueberry balsamic vinaigrette you make in the Vitamix. It looks impressive. It takes about five minutes.

I’m whole food plant based – so SOS – no salt, oil or sugar added to food. Love the sound of your recipes, but can’t have any oil in my meal plan. Can you maybe suggest an alternative to it. Or what would happen if it were eliminated?

  Skip it and replace with water. Should do the trick.
