HEMP SEED PESTO SAUCE

May 3, 2020 by Rachele at VFit Studio Leave a Comment

Print Recipe
The hemp seed (also known as hemp hearts) almost has too many amazing qualities to count: rich in Omega 3, 6, and amino acids, they’re good for your heart and can help to lower blood pressure, serve as an anti-inflammatory, aid in digestion, great for skin and hair, bone health, and metabolism. They also add a wonderful nutty texture to anything you throw them on. And let's talk PROTEIN on this wonderful sauce: in just 3 tablespoons of hemp hearts, there's 11 grams of protein - which means just from the hemp hearts alone this sauce has 44 grams of protein total, or 11 grams per serving! And if you use kale intead of basil, there's another 3 grams of protein per serving on top of that from the kale. Try this easy, nutrient packed, hemp seed pesto recipe – it’s ready in minutes and perfect to put on top of your Zoodles with some shredded chicken, white beans, or on their own.
