Pesto packs a punch however you have it.

You can jazz up just about anything with one spoonful. Packed with healthy fats for low lasting energy and heaps of herbs packed with phytonutrients, especially antioxidants. Basically they protect the cells from damage keeping inflammation down and the your heart healthy.

Yawn, details! Anything brightly coloured is good for you so chow down on the rainbow my friends!

Watch out for store bought pesto as it's often made with crappy canola oil - read the ingredients and make sure there's no numbers, fillers or rancid veggie oils.

Last batch I made I beefed it up with a can of white beans - cannellini I think. No nuts, just pepitas. It was the bomb!

If you don't have basil, use any other herb mix - the soft ones that you eat fresh though, not rosemary or sage.

You can also use baby spinach and a drop of basil essential oil if you don't have enough fragrant herbs. Try my fave brand - Twenty8 Essentials. Australian company, spunky owner, organic and honest. No, I don't get paid to say that ;)

What to do with pesto?

Fabulous on a cracker of course!
Dip your veggie sticks in it
blob it in your cauli mash - yes please!
Chuck it in your fetta stuffed chookie before you wrap it.
Blob it in your mayo to have with your SP Fries
Plonk it on your plate with your Herby Roast Chook (or a steak!)
Beef up your greens in a flash
Make a snazzy salad dressing by adding a touch to a vinegarette

Get my drift?

Garlic salt bomb is the bomb!

We all love this blend and its versatility. It’s delicious on its own and can be added to the other blends for that extra pop of flavour as well. It’s great on fish, eggs, meats as well as sprinkled on tomatoes, cucumbers and celery. This blend along side herbalicious , when you are travelling , covers all bases!

So yummy on lamb

I was so exited to eat these I didn’t take an after photo. I cooked them in the air fryer with some chilli garlic salt bomb. I added some cumin. So tender and tasty. Thoroughly recommend on lamb.

My friend loves it

Bought this for a friend who needs low FODMAP for her family. She said she loved it. They don’t like it spicy so will last a long time but she does not buy taco kits anymore :)

This jar lives on my dinner table! It goes well with the other spice mixes, Herbalicious in particular, or just on its own.

I covered the top of the salmon pieces and baked in the oven for 12 minutes. OMG it was so delicious. My husband was very impressed. I’m so glad I purchased the whole collection and I can’t wait to try the others. Thank you

Yummy on lamb roast

Added this to my lamb roast last night - and some olive oil. Was delicious. I usually have to add salt and pepper to my meat and I didn't after using this - so flavoursome!

Aroma Spice (aka Sweet Spice)

I have been using the Aroma spice blend for some time and I love how it seems to support both sweet and savory dishes. I use it in slow cooked meat dishes, smoothies, stir-fry's, chia seed puddings, overnight oats, bliss balls, desserts, and my morning hot cereal.

I also love the option of NOW getting this lovely spice in a glass jar! Thank you Kim for your creation.
