Do you know about our sponsor Primal Kitchen? If you like eating real food and feeling like your real self, you absolutely should! They have a ton of delicious products, but today we want to talk about their incredible dressings. They taste great on almost anything, but they’re not like other sugary dressings – the dressings are satiating, natural, and nutrient dense. On top of that, every dressing is made with 100% pure avocado oil and they’re always free of dairy, gluten, refined sugar, and soy!
Jordan’s current favorite is Green Goddess, but she’s also excited that they have a healthy Ranch dressing. Use the code BALANCEDBLONDE at checkout for 10% off of any Primal Kitchen products.
