Dandelion Green Moringa Pesto

Bitter greens like dandelions all help raise natural production of glutathione, a potent antioxidant needed for liver detoxification. Selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts also help stimulate glutathione production. Amino acids are another vital component of liver detoxification. Avocados contain all the important amino acids your body can easily synthesize and digest.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Brazil nuts
  • ⅓ cup pine nuts
  • 3—4 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups organic dandelion greens, washed and cut into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon organic moringa powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pulse Brazil nuts and pine nuts in a food processor to coarsely chop, then add the remaining ingredients. Blend in food processor until smooth.
