Vegan Mofo ~ Super GREENS Pesto

I've mentioned before just how AWESOME our Basil Plants are doing on our Rooftop/Container Garden...well...I was FINALLY able to do something with the FRESH Basil!  I think I will call this Super GREENS Pesto!

Here's the recipe:

1 and a half C Brazil Nuts
2 Handfuls of FRESH Basil Leaves
2 tea Lime Juice
Splash of Grapeseed Oil (I used Wildtree's Lemon Flavor)

1 T Nutritional Yeast

1/2 C Water

Optional - but I used these add-ins pictured above - and they were AWESOME:

1 tea GoL's Wheatgrass Juice Powder
Wildtree Lemon Pepper to taste

You can see my FULL Plate for dinner that night, too!  I had White Rice with Pesto on top, Pine Nut Hummus and Raw Crackers, and mixed veggies!

One of the reasons I LOVE the GoL Wheat Grass is because of this...

Our CERTIFIED ORGANIC Greens are sustainably grown by our family farmers here in the USA. We harvest before the grain buds (to prevent gluten from forming) and then juice at the farm immediately after harvest. Our juice is gently low-temperature dried and powdered onsite locking in its nutritionally dense, organic goodness. The end result is highly bioavailable and many times more concentrated in nutrients, including Chlorophyll, than whole leaf grass powders, putting the GREEN IN YOUR GREENS!†

Rosemary Hemp Seed Pesto

A fairly brief post today - basically to share with you one of my new favorite sauces I made last night!  I think I will call it Rosemary Hemp Seed Pesto! 

In my Vitamix I put...
1 T Lemon Juice
1/3 C Hemp Seeds
1 T Grapeseed Oil
1 teaspoon of Rosemary
1/2 tea Turmeric
1/4 C Nutritional Yeast
1/4 C Onion Shoots (Sprouts from the tops of Onions)
Pinch of Cayene

* You could use Green Onions or Chives instead of the Onion Shoots, I suppose!

This turned out SUPER tasty!  Even better than I expected!  And surprise, surprise...I didn't even use Garlic!  That just might be a first!

I put this on the remaining Pasta-Oh's I've had for a while now...I finally finished them off!  YAY!  And I added a handful of Frozen Peas to it, too!

I did enjoy the hint of Cayenne in there and think I might add more next time because I enjoyed it so much!

This is a sauce or a Pesto-like alternative I can see myself making a lot of!  I really want to try it on Broccoli and/or Cauliflower!

Speaking of Cauliflower...my Roasted Coconut Curry Cauliflower was featured on Urban Naturale's Pot Luck Party from last week!   Thanks, girl!
