High-Protein Pesto

High Protein Pesto: A Spin On The Classic With 50g LØUCO Protein

Classic flavour, upgraded with 50g of clean, hormone-friendly protein.

What if your pesto did more than just taste good?
This High-Protein Pesto takes everything you love about the classic: rich olive oil, parmesan, nuts, and garlic, and powers it up with around 50g of protein per batch thanks to LØUCO Protein Powder.

It’s flavour meets function. Toss it through pasta, spoon it over salads, or drizzle on roasted veggies for a creamy, crave-worthy boost that fuels your body.
