Hemp Pesto

by Metabolic Meals

by Metabolic Meals

Updated Dec 18, 2023

Reading Time:

Hemp is regarded as one of the finest forms of plant protein available and contains dozens of amino acids, including the nine essential, plus a significant dose of healthy fats. The flavor is a bit “nutty”and mixes well with other ingredients complementing them without being overpowering.

This vegan version of pesto offers many options, including a sauce for your favorite gluten free pasta, as a drizzle on some fresh mozzarella cheese, or as a dip and spread on your next antipasti display. We paired ours with noodled butternut squash for a fantastic mix of flavors.

 Ingredients

  • ½ cup Organic Hemp Hearts
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 cup Organic Basil, chopped
  • 1 cup Organic Arugula
  • ¼ cup Cold-Pressed Olive Oil
  • Sea salt as needed

Preparation 

Place all ingredients in the blender on high until you have a smooth consistency.
