Whey protein has been commercialized since the 70s (it was actually discovered thousands of years ago. We all know of whey, and because you’re reading this you’re probably taking whey currently.

Today I have a spicy recipe for you that’s delicious as a topper for grilled chicken, fish, burgers … and it’s also great stirred into veggies, beans, and pasta! It’s proof that you can enjoy gourmet-style meals while eating a “clean” and healthy diet. The bonus of eating healthy whole foods is that you feel great AFTER your meals, too – instead of weighed down and blah. This recipe literally comes together in just a couple of minutes. The pepitas (pumpkin seeds) add a surprising richness to this pesto. I prefer full-fat Greek yogurt in this, but you can use low-fat if that’s what you have on-hand. You can easily adjust the heat level, too. A splash or two of sriracha will kick it up a notch, as well as including the jalapeno seeds. Spicy Pumpkin Seed Pesto (Serving Size: 1 tablespoon) 1/3 cup (40g) hilled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)1-2 garlic...Read more
