Avocado Pesto

Recipe taken from Eat Yourself Skinny

Ingredients:
-2 avocados
-1 cup fresh basil leaves
-3 cloves of garlic (used 4 and had some extra bite)
-1/4 cup of pine nuts, toasted (no more than 1/4 bc can be too nutty)
-2 tbsp. lemon juice (used 1 whole lemon)
-1/2 tsp sea salt
-3 Tbsp olive oil
-cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions:
1.  Mix in large Cuisinart
2. Added a little water (1/8 cup) to thin it out a little

Notes:
-Served with veggies (red onion, bell peppers, broccoli) and chicken - seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder
-can do with zoodles as in the website recipe
-unfortunately, have to make separately each day because avocados can go bad - but could try pre-making and freezing afterwards.  I just pre-peeled garlic and set aside the toasted pine nuts for the next day's serving.
