Congratulations to Cait for winning the $50 Renew Life Giveaway! You can check out the winner’s page here. Thank you to EVERYONE who entered. I get excited each time I see a new person enter the giveaways here on Healthful Sense!
The fun doesn’t stop though… read on to find out how you can win 3 pounds of pistachios from thegreenut.org!
Pistachios are one of my favorite snacks.
It’s a good thing that they come in a shell because otherwise I would eat them too fast.
Here are some interesting facts about pistachios:
- One serving of pistachios is 49 nuts, more than any other tree nut!
- They are an excellent source of the type of fat you want more of in your diet, monounsaturated fats
- There are 3 grams of fiber in each serving
- They are a good source of several vitamins and minerals including iron, B vitamins, and potassium
- The high protein content makes them a good protein source for those on a vegetarian or vegan diet
Here are some ways to add pistachios to your diet:
- Add to salads or pasta
- Mix with vegetables
- Stir into yogurt or cereal
- Mix with dried fruit to make trail mix
- Add crushed pistachios to muffin or pancake mix
- Use crushed pistachios as a gluten-free alternative for bread crumbs
- Fill small plastic containers with 49 pistachios each for a quick grab-and-go snack.
- Add to rice dishes
- Use a food processor to make pistachio butter

I LOVE pistachios. The recipe I’d like to try is the white bean dip with pistachios and cilantro. I make white bean dip all the time and cannot believe I’ve never thought of using pistachios.
Mmmm… that sounds delicious. I never thought of using pistachios either!
Congratulations, Cait! That’s awesome
OKay… pistachio recipe: Carol’s recipe for the pistachio fruit bars look AMAZING. That’s what I’d make… if Kevin (my bf) doesn’t eat the whole bag first.
