GREEN ARUGULA PESTO WITH HAZELNUTS AND SPIRULINA

As I don't eat cheese (very rarely, I might have goat cheese), all type of healthy spread are a big part of my diet. This green arugula pesto is super good and super simple (and you can use it for EVERYTHING). 

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup hazelnuts
  • 2 cups arugula leaves
  • 5-8 big leaves of fresh basil
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 tbsp water
  • ½ lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ fresh chili
  • 1 tsp spirulina powder
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Himalayan salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash the arugula leaves and the basil. Drain them well.
  • Place all ingredients in a medium sized blender and mix until well combined. If the pesto is still too dry, add a little bit more water or oil (1 tbsp at a time) and mix it again. So easy!
