Homemade Vegan Pesto

Here is my first video I put together to demonstrate how to make pesto sauce. Give the recipe a try and let me know how you enjoy it!

Pesto Sauce Recipe

2 cups basil, packed

1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)

2 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 cloves of garlic

Salt to taste

Directions:

Place all ingredients into a food processor. Blend for about 3-5 minutes or until it is a somewhat smooth consistency. Eat it with pasta, as a pizza sauce, or my favorite, Israeli couscous.

Benefits

Basil: helps to relieve nervous digestive spasms and headaches associated with indigestion.

Pine Nuts: rich in good fats, protein, vitamin B1, and iron. Helps with nervous disorders and anemia.
