It’s Sunday afternoon and you’re stuck for quick and healthy dinner ideas, especially if you're trying the grain-free paleo diet foods.

Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered with this one of the delicious paleo-friendly foods packed-full-of-veggies quiche!

So today we’re sharing this stunning asparagus quiche recipe with kale pesto which is perfect for the spring weather. This recipe would couple well with some bright and cheery cocktails with fresh fruits, some air fryer chips, a salad, and wow I’m getting hungry just thinking about this hypothetical spread.
The crust recipe is simple to make, and if you have some spare garlic powder and herb mix laying around, use a teaspoon of each in the crust to really make the flavours pop.

Our Process
Step 1
Make the Kale pesto: Place kale, basil, macadamias, lemon rind, lemon juice, avocado oil and 1/3 cup cold water in a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Press firmly and evenly over the base and sides of the prepared pan. Place on tray in the oven. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until firm and dry. Set aside for 20 minutes or until the crust cools slightly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, melt extra coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until just golden. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Whisk remaining eggs together. Add asparagus, coconut cream, GLOW Youth Elixir and egg to cooled onion. Season with salt and pepper.
