What I love most about Sapana Chandra, MS, CHC, of Real + Vibrant is that she, in addition to inspiring us with her unbelievably gorgeous eats, shows how to cultivate a holistic view of wellness and balance. “Wellness” means something different for everyone; it’s up to us to write our definition.

This creamy sauce is robust, delicious and made from healthy veggies.
