This is such a simple and yummy recipe that is packed full of nutrients. Before we get into the preparation I want to share with you all of the amazing health benefits that this pesto has to offer:

Kale

• It is great for Detoxification & Weight Loss – There are 5 grams of fiber in just one cup of kale! This is amazing for aiding in digestion and elimination.
• It is packed with vitamins A, C and K, as well as calcium and magnesium with all help to strengthen the immune system.
• It is filled with Antioxidants such as flavonoids and carotenoids which all help to fight cancer.
• It is also extremely high in iron – in fact per calorie it has more iron than beef.

Spinach

• Contributes to brain & nervous system function – it is extremely high in vitamin K which helps to synthesize spingolipds, which are the crucial fat that make up the myelin sheath around our nerves.
• Spinach is also packed with Antioxidants – such as vitamins C, E and beta-carotene, as well as zinc, manganese and selenium!
• It is also great for your skin – the high amount of vitamin A in spinach increases moisture retention throughout the epidermis, which helps to fight psoriasis, wrinkles and acne.

Pine Nuts

• Pine nuts are actually an excellent source of Vitamin D – which among many things helps us to build stronger bones.
• They are higher in protein than many other nuts.
• They are also very nutrient dense – and contain high amounts of magnesium, iron, manganese, potassium and thiamine.
• They also have a high concentration of mono-unsaturated fats – which paves the way for a healthy cardiovascular system.

Garlic

• Detoxifies the body against bacteria, fungus and viruses
• Lowers blood pressure & is a natural blood thinner.
• Also great way to boost the immune system – because of its antiseptic and nutritive properties

Olive Oil

• Has an extremely large amount of monounsaturated fat due to its high oleic acid content also know as omega 9 – this helps to lower the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Here is what you need:

3 cups of mixed kale and spinach
Half cup of olive oil
Half cup of pine nuts
Juice from half a lemon
2 to 3 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to preferred taste

Mix all of these together in a bowl and then mix well in food processor until smooth. Voila!!
