A Nourishing Broccoli-Brazil Nut Pesto Recipe From Kristina Holey

June 20, 2016

A plate with pale yellow vegetable sticks, fresh green spinach leaves, and a small bowl of green dip topped with seeds, arranged neatly on a light background.

Thanks to the knowledgeable holistic beauty expert Kristina Holey, this week I’ve focused a great deal on detoxification of both the body and skin. I’ve already given instructions for making her warming and healing Kitchari, and step-by-step tips for detoxing the skin, but there is one more recipe of hers I want to share. This one is a take on one of my favorite things: pesto. Kristina’s version (in partnership with Jennifer Taylor of Buckwheat to Butter) is anti-inflammatory and lowers cholesterol by incorporating broccoli and brazil nuts instead of basil and pine nuts. These two ingredients are filled with vitamins (A, K and E), important minerals and beneficial antioxidants, and actually help detoxify the body naturally. The final result is flavorful, healthy and so versatile you can add it to almost anything! XXJKE
