How To Make the Healthiest Super Greens Pesto Sauce

Pesto is life. Healthy pesto? Game changer - seriously. 

Pesto tastes amazing on pasta, zucchini noodles, toasts, sandwiches, and even wraps. It even works as a dip or a topping on baked, sauteed and steamed vegetables. Our pesto is just as tasty and as easy to combine.

You’re in for a treat!

One of the most powerful ingredients of pesto is basil. Basil is an anti-inflammatory herb full of antioxidants that support the immune system and help your body stay healthy.

There is one problem with pesto though. 

Most pesto recipes include parmesan cheese, making it not feasible for those with dairy or casein allergies and sensitivities or for those who are vegan. Store-bought pesto may also include preservatives, artificial ingredients, and additives that are damaging to your health.

It is so much better to make your own healthy pesto and be in control of your body and health.

Our Healthy Pesto is:

• Creamy
• Garlicky
