1/4 cup Raw Cashews (36g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (21g)

PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini to create noodles and set aside in a large bowl.
In a high-speed blender, combine raw cashews, nutritional yeast, fresh basil leaves, garlic clove, firm tofu, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired texture is achieved.
Mix the blended cashew pesto with the zucchini noodles ensuring they are evenly coated.
Fold in the shelled edamame for an added boost of protein and texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, protein-packed pesto dish.
