Paleo Pesto Sauce

Do you LOVE pesto? But also HATE the way you feel after eating dairy like me (lactose intolerant over here)?


I've got an awesome recipe for you to try today!

Paleo Pesto Sauce
Servings depend on how generously you spoon your pesto onto everything. ;-)

Ingredients:

1 cup raw walnuts, shelled (not roasted)
3 cups fresh basil leaves
2 cups baby spinach
4 cloves garlic
Zest and juice from 1 large lemon
2/3 cup olive oil (feel free to swap out for walnut or macadamia oil)
3/4 tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast


Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until well-combined.

2. Store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge.


Now I'd love to hear from YOU!!! What do you enjoy about my blogs? What would you like to see more of? I sit down to post blog posts with the goal to provide help, resources, and inspiration. How am I doing?


If you can leave a comment and let me know how I can be of greater service to you, I'd really appreciate it! In fact, I'll do one pushup for every response that I get between here AND my newsletter responses. :-)


In good health,

This recipe takes just 20 minutes from start to finish but tastes like it’s been simmering all day. You can sub kale, escarole or your favorite “green” for the spinach in this tasty soup! It works well in the warmer weather, too.
