Dairy-Free Pesto

Pesto.jpg-dairy-free-pesto-flavor-clean-eating-sauces

This is my spin-on a traditional pesto. Leave out the parmesan and substitute pine nuts for more nutrient dense nuts/seeds like the walnut and hemp hearts. Not to hate on the pine nut, but you cannot compete with these two! Walnuts are loaded with your much needed omega-3's and hemp hearts are one of the cleanest proteins around. Check out the full recipe below! Make a big batch of this, store in an air-tight glass container and it will keep in your fridge for up tp 3 weeks! Put it on your eggs, a salad, or veggie noddles...the options are endless and it will keep your meals flavorful and loaded with great nutrition! 

Prep time: 2 minutes 

Blend time: 2 minutes

  • 2 loose cups, fresh basil

  • S+P to taste
