With the holidays around the corner, we’re all in full prep mode and I know if can be difficult to stay on track and to avoid snacking on all the chocolate and holiday treats that are quickly filling up our homes! I’m going to share a few ways that I’m enjoying Wonderful Pistachios this holiday season (and all year round to be honest) and encourage you to do the same because not only are they a healthier alternative, but Wonderful Pistachios is giving back this holiday season! They’ll be donating $.10/unit from purchase made at Walmart from November 1 - December 24, 2019 to Toys for Tots from the sales of Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Wonderful Pistachios Roasted No Salt (up to $100k)! It’s such an amazing initiative and a great way to give back by simply enjoying a food that you already love! Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.
With my goal this coming year being to eat healthier and make better food choices, Wonderful Pistachios fits in perfectly into my life. You can feel good about eating Wonderful Pistachios because they are Gluten-Free, Kosher certified, Halal certified, and vegan! They come in a few varieties to satisfy any palate: Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Roasted No Salt and both are dry roasted with no added oil! They make amazing stocking stuffers for the foodie in your life and the perfect addition to any holiday gift basket! We love gifting my children’s doctors gift baskets filled with our favorite items from Walmart and always include Wonderful Pistachios! There are also simple and easy ways to incorporate them into your holiday meal that I’ll share below!
This is one of my favorite ways to incorporate Wonderful Pistachios into my holiday meals! Starting any meal, especially on a cold day, with a delicious bowl of soup is the way to go! I love a good cheddar & broccoli or homemade squash soup and the addition of Wonderful Pistachios on the top takes the presentation and taste to the next level! The crunch adds some unexpected texture and I always choose the Wonderful Pistachios Roasted and Salted to add that salty kick that you need!
If you set up a salad bar over the holidays, they’re a great addition as well! Wonderful Pistachios are often overlooked when make a salad, but make the BEST crunchy topper! They bring your ordinary salad to a salad that’s restaurant worthy!
And if you’re having a more low-key, stay at home in your pjs type of holiday, Wonderful Pistachios are a great way to take an ordinary can of soup and make it extraordinary! Just chop some Wonderful Pistachios once the soup is warm, sprinkle on the top and enjoy!
If you’ve never added Wonderful Pistachios on top of your ice cream or chocolate cake, then you’ve been missing out! They are the ultimate addition to any sweet dessert! I always choose the Wonderful Pistachios Roasted No Salt variety, but if I were to add them on top of brownies, I would definitely choose the Wonderful Pistachios Roasted and Salted! They’re a dessert topper that my guests are always surprised to see, but it’s one that they swear afterwards they will never live without! It steps up the presentation and takes vanilla ice cream to the next level!
Would it even be the holiday season if we weren’t running out doing last minute errands and shopping? I always bring my Wonderful Pistachios on the go with me and love that they come in a No Shells variety! It makes eating them on the go so much simpler and it means I can enjoy them no matter how hectic my day gets and without having to worry about where to stash the shells!
When something is as delicious as Wonderful Pistachios, sometimes they’re best enjoyed as they come - right out of the bag! I always have bowls of Wonderful Pistachios around my home when we entertain! We bring them to movies with us (instead of eating popcorn) and my husband always has some in his hockey bag to enjoy after a long game! They really are that delicious and you can feel great about eating them!
You can enjoy Wonderful Pistachios all year round, but there has never been a time that was better to go get some from your local Walmart than now to support Toys for Tots!
