Pesto is one of my favorite foods! In fact, it’s foundational to my health and that of my family’s.
I would love for you to think differently about pesto. We often think of herbs as a garnish, but to me herbs are my super-fuel especially super herbs like mint.
Why is mint so incredibly powerful? It’s powerful because it supports our immune system, it’s anti-inflammatory, it’s filled with polyphenols, flavanols, all the antioxidants that build the elastin in our body and our skin. This tiny little plant is filled with all these phytonutrients that are going to help balance blood sugar, give us energy and to top it off, it’s absolutely delicious. I eat it out of the bowl as I would a salad, it’s that good, it’s that tasty, and I know it’s doing wonderful things for my body. At the end of the day you can’t beat that. :)
