Pesto Hollandaise

Traditional hollandaise sauce can have up to a whole cup of butter in it. Tastes incredible I know, but after eating it I feel I have to work out twice as hard just to justify having that second helping.

But in under 5 minutes, this low calorie sauce can be whipped up, and won’t make you feel as guilty when you ask for seconds!
