This is a super healthy alternative to traditional pesto but it’s still bright green and delicious! We use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese for a savoury kick. Ground flax seeds are a great dietary addition for those with IBS due to their soluble fibre content and essential fatty acids. Stir this pesto into soups or pasta.

Method
1
Heat the walnuts and seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned and toasted.
2
Put the walnuts, seeds and yeast in a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes until coarsely chopped.
3
Tear up the kale leaves and add to the blender (you may need to do this in batches). Blend until the kale is evenly chopped.
4
With the blender running, add the oil. Once all the oil is added the pesto should be smooth and bright green.
