Broccoli and Parsley Pesto

This is a simple and mega-delicious recipe.
Prepare to go wild for your veggies, cause this pesto is the perfect pairing!


Cashews (finely ground)
Parsley (fresh and a whole bunch of it!)

Basil

Done and done, just like that!

*** I used broccoli in mine because I had some extra left over from a recipe and was curious. It's kind like a way to hide veggies in your pesto! Soooo clever. Also nuts are expensive when money is real tight I use half cashews half raw peanuts. Nuts can be sooo expensive so be careful how much you use, find tricks to cut those costs!

Agave Nectar

Blend your ingredients on pulse, once well mix press into your pie mold and dehydrate for 6-8 hours.

Peaches
Coconut Butter
Agave Nectar

Cinnamon

Slice your peaches real thin and marinate with some raisins in your cinnamon and agave. I let mine marinate while the crust was dehydrating so the peaches would fully soake up all the flavour they could.
