HEALTHY ALMOND PESTO (6 min) | VG & GF

Craving something savoury? šŸ˜† Well, I do eat my greens despite my love for bananas and chocolate šŸ¤£. I wanted to create a pesto recipe that will blow your mind and is extremely delicious without added preservatives and other weird things that store-bought pestos have. It's super easy and stores in the fridge for up to 7 days!


šŸ‘©šŸ»ā€šŸ³Ingredients:

ā—¾ļø Ā½ cup (72 g) raw almonds @koro_nl

ā—¾ļø 1/4 cup (60g) fresh spinach

ā—¾ļø 1 cup (150 g) sun-dried tomato in oil, drained

ā—¾ļø Ā½ cup (120 mL) oil from jar of sun-dried tomatoes

ā—¾ļø 2/3 cup (20g) fresh basil, packed

ā—¾ļø 2 cloves garlic

ā—¾ļø 2 Tbsp (20 g) nutritional yeast

ā—¾ļø Ā½ lemon, juiced

ā—¾ļø salt & black pepper to taste


šŸ‘©šŸ»ā€šŸ³Method:

  1. Heat a small pan over medium-high heat, and toast the almonds for 3 - 5 minutes.

  2. To a food processor, add the toasted almonds and all the remaining ingredients.

  3. Blend on high speed until smooth, with little chunks remaining if desired. Enjoy!

Serve with crackers, bread or pasta or just eat it straight from the jar!


Let me know, have you ever made pesto yourself?šŸ‘‡šŸ»
