butternut squash & kelp noodle pesto pasta

the color associated with the month of march is GREEN for a reason! the importance of incorporating bitter, dark leafy greens at this time of year is vital. in the month of march your body starts purging excess fat and heaviness of winter-bitter foods aid in this process of detoxification and fat burn. 

so feed your body well!

*the way we feed & treat our body in the spring sets the tone for our health the rest of the year*. 

are you listening to what your body wants? are you enjoying a bit lighter, more nutrient dense foods? eat your bitters! help your liver purge the stored up winter toxins and fat. you’ll feel amazing.


here’s an easy & delicious way to get loads of these greens in:
supergreen PESTO
noodles: use your fav. i mixed kona berry kelp noodles with butternut squash noodles, boiled them for a few minutes, then drained the water, added some ghee and stir-fried them a few more minutes.

deep green pesto sauce: this stuff is delicious. save the leftovers for veggie/flax cracker dipping!
i added a special ingredient-sea clear. i love this stuff! so nutrient dense. plus it’s fermented, contains nutrients from sea greens, extra salty, extra yummy. you do not have to add this, just add seasoning of your choice to taste if you don’t have it. (i got it online at thrive market)

throw the following in a blender:
4 c baby spinach / bitter green mix (i used mustard and dandelion but be careful cause too much of these will make it too bitter and spicy! if you’re not a fan, stick with spinach)
2 c parsley
1 c cilantro (don’t be afraid to throw stems in!)
4 T nutritional yeast
2 T sea clear
1-2 cloves raw garlic
2 drops of oregano essential oil (this magic ingredient makes it so yummy)
1/3 c organic pure avocado oil or olive oil
2-4 T c apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
2 packets of chaga mushroom from four sigmatic (optional for that extra nutritional love)

-blend all ingredients a minute or two until smooth, mix with prepared noodles, top with more parsley + eat! i also added spirulina crunchies to the top & sprouted flax crackers, cause crunch is life.
my husband downed this in minutes (and if you know him, he’s a chick-fil-a, salt and vinegar chips kinda guy. ha!). i enjoyed it slowly, savoring each bite! yum.

NOURISH YOURSELF.

(ps. hey! i’m back in business here. finally settled in our new home & have some good stuff coming your way!)
