Basil Kale Pesto

1 cup fresh basil leaves, quick chop
1 cup fresh kale leaves, quick chop
3 garlic cloves
1/2 lemon, juice
1/4 cup raw walnuts
1/2 cup water

Put the above ingredients in a food processor or blender.

Pulse on low speed, and slowly add 1/4-1/2 cup olive oil as all ingredients start to blend together to desired consistency




Chicken Pesto "Taco"

1 small sprouted Ezekiel tortilla
1-2 Tbsp Basil Kale Pesto
1/2 grilled chicken breast, sliced
1/2 Roma tomato, sliced
handful of fresh arugula

To assemble "Taco"

Spread pesto all over tortilla, add chicken breast slices, then tomato slices and finally top with arugula.
Fold like a Taco & Enjoy!
It was too stuffed for me to call it a wrap, I really like arugula and tomatoes :)





Had this for lunch today with a mango, peeled & sliced. It was amazingly refreshing and easy to make! 






Breakfast Taco

I am definintely loving theses Ezekiel wraps. I will unfortunately have to stop eating them for a week when I try the Paleo Diet. I am so excited to try it! Maybe it will stick, maybe not, but it will be a fun experience either way.

Breakfast Taco

1 Small Ezekiel Tortilla
2 harboiled egg whites, chopped
1 Tbsp black beans, drained & rinsed

Assemble taco, with beans and egg whites, and microwave for ~20 seconds

Top with:
1 Tbsp red salsa
1/4 avocado chopped

Fold tortilla into a taco and enjoy!




That's it! Very simple, and I made my hardboiled eggs the night before so I didnt have to worry about them in the morning. Also, it is low in calories, good source of protein, healthy fats and fiber also! 






As a snack, I had a nonfat blueberry Oikos Greek yogurt and 2 hardboiled eggs. This snack is very high in protein so it kept me full for a long time!
