Paleo Sauces Whole 30

Easy healthy spinach pesto

This spinach pesto takes 5 minutes to make and is an easy dip or addition to a meal! A great way to add vegetables to a dinner too!

I’m always looking for ways to get my family to eat more vegetables, and especially more greens! We love “sneaking” spinach & kale into most recipes with ground meat, and definitely smoothies! But this is a fun savory way to add more greens into your family’s meals.

Spinach pesto:


I’m not sure about you, but I LOVE a good pesto dish. The warm and savory flavors just make my mouth so happy!

This pesto is packed with greens, healthy fats AND protein. Win win win!

Also – it’s Paleo, vegan and Whole 30 approved!
