Versatile Vitamix!
I bought a Vitamix for the first time a few weeks ago, after hearing it mentioned over and over at a class on dairy-free cooking where we learned to make dairy-free "cheeses," "ice creams" etc. It's amazing, so useful in so many ways, and I'm using it to create delicious, healthy meals that I couldn't have made without it.

I love pesto. Adding spinach was something I never thought of doing. That added a lot of extra nutrition, not to mention I love spinach. This is a great recipe and one I am keeping
