When we have pasta, sometimes it’s hard to make a sauce for just one person, especially if you want protein with it. I came up with a pesto recipe that has added almonds for protein. This pesto recipe is very easy and can be stored in your fridge for a few days.

Healthy Pesto with Protein Recipe – Made with Spinach and Almonds

Updated from a few years ago and still a great, easy pesto recipe.

Is Pesto Healthy?

Yes, pesto is healthy for you since it has a bunch of antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin C and has good fats since it’s made with pine nuts and olive oil.

The Easy Pesto Recipe

In a food processor or blender mix water, spinach, olive oil, and almonds. I started with the spinach and water first. Then I added some olive oil and a handful of almonds. You’ll want to add enough of the ingredients to make a paste. I included about a half a bag of spinach leaves. After everything is mixed up you can add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.

Easy and healthy pesto rich in protein.
