The Ultimate Green Veggie Bowl 

Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 cups broccoli, chopped (about 1 head)
- 1 1/2 cups snap peas
- 1 ounce basil
- 1/4 cup nuts (recommend 1/8 cup walnuts and 1/8 cup cashews)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Optional hemp hearts to top

Directions:

- Using a spiralizer, prepare zucchini noodles and set aside.
- Place broccoli and snap peas in a microwave-safe steamer and microwave for 4 minutes. Place zucchini noodles on top and steam for 3 more minutes, until broccoli and snap peas are tender and zucchini noodles are only slightly crunchy.
- While vegetables are in the microwave, place basil, nuts, olive oil, garlic, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour pesto into the steamer and mix all the vegetables together. Divide equally into two bowls, add more salt to taste, and top with hemp hearts. Serve and enjoy.
