Pesto is that dish. It’s simple yet complex. It’s cheap but healthy. And most of all, it’s your comforting friend on a quiet night in that easily doubles as a crowd-pleaser when unexpected guests turn up.
This is a “throw-together” pesto recipe that’s bursting with nutrients, including spirulina, the most concentrated protein source on the planet. Spirulina adds a level of richness to the pesto and has numerous health benefits, keeping you fuller for longer, regulating energy levels, normalizing thyroid and adrenal gland function, and supporting healthy hormones.
Serve it drizzled over veggies or meat or simply stirred through cooked quinoa or pasta.
