Two things I deeply missed while on vacation: Blendtec and blender bottles.
Having a high powered blender is really important to a healthy lifestyle. From blending the perfect green smoothies, to salad dressings and #soups. Blendtec is a great brand in my book!
Created this dressing off the cuff because we needed something to add to the Apple Pecan Quinoa salad.

Our first crack at an Eat To Live dressing and we LOVE it!

2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest or other no-salt seasoning
