Coconut Avocado Basil Pesto

paleo pesto recipe

Before the cruise I shared with everyone my struggles with dropping weight and my switch to Paleo-style eating. Now that vacation is over and I have control over my eating again, it’s straight back to Paleo-ville. I dug out one of my new books and selected a recipe for a sauce to use with a variety of things – Coconut Basil Pesto. I was a bit skeptical when I read thru ingredients but when I added a half an avocado it really made this so-so recipe, completely amazing! I could drink this stuff it’s so tasty…do your self a favor and whip some up ASAP.
