The Ingredients

1. Penne Pasta: When exercising, it is important to eat enough complex carbohydrates to keep your energy levels sustained and even throughout the day. The pasta base in this dish does just that. We chose penne pasta in order to provide the perfect vehicle for catching the rich flavors of our pesto sauce. 

2. White Meat Chicken: Chicken is rich in protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues and muscles after a long day of exercise. It also contains essential amino acids that support muscle growth, repair, and maintenance. 

3. Nut-Free Pesto: Made with basil, garlic, parsley, sea salt, and pepper, our nut-free pesto provides all of the delicious flavors you’d expect from a classic Italian pesto without the risk of an allergic reaction. It’s creamy, vibrant, and delicious.

4. Parmesan Cheese: Though our pesto is nut-free, the parmesan cheese provides a delicious nutty flavor to really round out the flavor profile. It also provides an essential source of healthy fats to keep your energy levels balanced throughout the day and delay the onset of fatigue.
