A few nutritious facts about pistachios…

Although pistachio nuts have high-fat content, most are unsaturated fats that may not be fully absorbed into the body. Their energy density, protein and high-fibre content helps reduce overeating.

Simply shelling and eating pistachios one-by-one slows consumption, allowing you to feel full more easily.

Pistachios contain 3 grams of fibre, 6 grams of protein, and 11 grams of heart-healthy fat per serving – about 49 nuts = 100 calories!

Step 1

Chop the pistachios coarsely and banana chips finely. Partly crush the cornflakes. Cut the pears and apricots into small cubes.

Step 2
