This recipe is so tasty, nourishing, and satisfying! I was inspired by a version of pistachio pie I saw on “thathealthjunkie” instagram. This is the perfect summer treat, especially those that love pistachio gelato! Pistachios are a good source of melatonin, so these are great for sleep too.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Walnuts: Rich in ALA, omega-3s, and polyphenols that reduce inflammation
Tahini: Rich in B vitamins, healthy fats, and minerals to support hormones, skin health, and blood pressure
Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids and minerals for anti-inflammatory benefits. You can substitute with cocoa powder if needed. I buy mine from Thrive Market for the best price and size!
Ceylon cinnamon: Rich in antioxidants and has been shown to improve blood sugar
Pistachios: Rich in fiber, antioxidants, healthy fats, and are a source of melatonin
Greek yogurt: I purchase pasture-raised and grass-fed when I can for higher levels of omega 3s. Greek yogurt is high in protein, probiotics, and calcium
Date syrup: Contains fiber, minerals, and antioxidants
Chocolate: I use Hu Chocolate for an unrefined sugar and healthy chocolate option
