In this recipe, we used the leftover pulp from cold-pressed almond milk, but you could use the pulp from cashew milk and it would also be delicious. Soooo good, you’ll go nuts! (sorry I had to)
When Chef Ari created this recipe in the Goodnature Innovation Kitchen, I was so excited! I love basil pesto and having recently gone vegan, I couldn’t wait to taste it. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This pesto is so creamy and good and I love the fact that it incorporates spinach for that added nutritional benefit.
This pesto will keep in the fridge for about a week, although I wouldn’t know by experience, it’s never lasted that long for me to find out 🙂
What About the Cheese?
This original recipe does not call for a cheese substitute, but if you find yourself missing the cheesy flavor, you can add in 3-4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast, sometimes referred to as “hippy fish food”, is a great source of complete protein, B Vitamins and trace minerals. I use nutritional yeast in a lot of the recipes I make at home. It has a cheesy, nutty flavor that I just love in soups, sauces, and of course my favorite, vegan mac and “cheese”.
