Spirulina Pesto
Pesto is great! It’s great on crackers, with eggs on toast or tossed through pasta for a family friendly dinner. Spirulina is equally as great! High in Iron, B vitamins and a full amino acid profile spirulina is one of the few complete vegetarian proteins and therefore is great for vegetarians and vegans or anyone needing an energy boost. We’ve combined pesto & spirulina to bring you our Spirulina Pesto. A delicious take on traditional pesto beaming with goodness.
