Matcha Pesto
Double the green, double the flavor. Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer. Combine it with our smooth, earthy and semi-sweet Matcha, and you’ve found yourself with a dangerous duo. Packed with basil, mint, spinach, matcha and pistachios, these magical green ingredients provide high levels of chlorophyll and taste incredible. When combined, you’ve got a versatile, beautiful green sauce for pasta, chicken or fish. You can even serve it on its own as a dip! It’s just that good.
