I lead cleanses for a living. That means it's important to really keep up with making purees that taste like something more than... blah! This puree is by far, my favorite one yet. It's incredibly smooth, it has sweet tones from the yam and fig, earthy tones from the cauliflower and beet, and a little spice from the basil and onion. It's incredible —Skylor Powell
