What makes our vegan pesto the best-o? Superfoods!

Thanks to our Super Green mix and Skinny Protein mix, this vegan pesto gets an extra boost of nutrients.

One spoonful of our Super Green mix is the same as one serving of greens. So if you have a picky eater, this recipe is perfect for sneaking in some veggies!

The Skinny Protein mix also contains 3 green superfoods as well as two plant-based proteins: hemp protein powder and pea protein powder.
