PESTO AVOCADO QUINOA

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups quinoa, uncooked

2. 1-2 handfuls of basil

3. 2 avocados

4. 1/4 cup hemp seeds

5. 1/4 cup olive oil

6. 1/2 lemon, juiced

7. 1 tablespoon garlic powder

8. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

9. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Cook the quinoa. Really want to save time? Buy @traderjoes pre-cooked organic quinoa, it takes 5-6 mins to cook on stove top!

2. Strip basil leaves from the stems and add to a food processor along with avocados, hemp seeds, garlic, pepper salt; pulse until finely chopped. Add oil and process to form a thick paste.
   Let the quinoa cool; then juice 1/2 lemon and mix well

3. Combine pesto and quinoa well serve hot or cold; I prefer cold!
