Pumpkin Seed Pesto

A nutrient-dense pesto sauce makes the perfect addition to baked fish or chicken, roasted veggies, pasta, or on top of a grain bowl. Pumpkin seeds provide a source of zinc, an essential nutrient for men’s hormonal balance and fertility. Zinc supports testosterone levels and is key for healthy sperm development. This pesto also provides a delicious way to eat your green veggies!

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds, roasted 

  • 2 cups kale, destemmed and torn into pieces 

  • ½ cup fresh basil

  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ⅓ cup olive oil 

Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, place the pumpkin seeds, kale, basil, parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon, salt and pepper. Pulse until combined and thoroughly blended. 

  2. With the processor still on, slowly pour the olive oil and blend until everything comes together well.
