This year, I have become rather obsessed with charcuterie boards. I have used snack boards for events, snacks and lunches for my kids. I have even used small boards for myself to enjoy during nap times or after putting the kids to bed. My favorite thing to do is to Netflix and charcuterie. This holiday season I am adding Wonderful Pistachios to my snack boards.
WHY YOU SHOULD ADD WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS TO YOUR CHARCUTERIE BOARDS TOO
This post was sponsored Wonderful Pistachios as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
First of all, pistachios are tasty and are an amazing addition to any charcuterie board for any reason. But there are a few other reasons you should add pistachios to your holiday snacking menu.
Wonderful Pistachios are Giving Back this Holiday Season
By buying and adding Wonderful Pistachios to your holiday snacking, you are helping benefit Toys for Tots. For every bag of Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & No Salt sold at Walmart, Wonderful Pistachios is donating 10 cents (up to 100k). Wonderful Pistachios will be running this promotion through December 24th, 2019. It’s a simple and fun way to give back this holiday season.
I always prefer to buy a product from a company who is actively giving back. As a mom to two young kids, I love that Wonderful Pistachios selected Toys for Tots to support. So lets add those Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & No Salt to our holiday menus and even our holiday gifting.
Wonderful Pistachios are Heart Healthy
*Disclaimer: Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. See nutritional information for fat content.
As a busy mom, I love food that is both easy and healthy. I always take this into account when creating a charcuterie board for myself or an event. Pistachios are not only tasty, but also Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Kosher certified, Halal certified, and vegan. To top it off, Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & No Salt are dry roasted with no added oil!
Wonderful Pistachios Add Color
Wonderful Pistachios add a little color to any snack plate. They fit in with the holidays with subtle green and red-purple hues each Wonderful Pistachio has. They get these colors from antioxidants. I love that Wonder Pistachios can add some more color to my diet!
Building an Charcuterie Board for One with Wonderful Pistachios
This time, I wanted to help you create a little “me” moment with a little charcuterie and some Wonderful Pistachios. Sometimes, I will just use what I already have. As the holidays approach, I’ll start making lists of what I want to add to a charcuterie board.
What you’ll need:
A small platter
Crackers
Lunch Meat – I used Nitrate Free Turkey Breast
Veggies – I had cucumbers on hand that afternoon
Fruit – I had apples on hand
Cheese – I’m lactose intolerant and I didn’t have any goat cheese that afternoon. But add cheese, what’s a charcuterie board without cheese.
And finally, don’t forget your Wonderful Pistachios. I decided to go with Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted.
When I plate a charcuterie board for myself, I usually just group the food by type. Especially when it is a small board. I loved how the Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted were the star of the show in the middle of the board. If I was doing a bigger board, I would just add more varieties of everything I included.
So Be A Happy Nut This Holiday Season with Wonderful Pistachios
I hope you smile cracking open a Wonder Pistachio. I think they make a fun and unique crunchy addition to a a Holiday menu. Not only are Wonderful Pistachios are healthy, they are also tasty. A simple addition that will make anyone smile when they gather with you this season! Remember when you buy, Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & Salted and Wonderful Pistachios Roasted & No Salt at Walmart this holiday season ( until December 24th), Wonderful Pistachios will donate to Toys for Tots! So get cracking and smiling. Maybe you’ll catch a Wonderful Pistachio smiling back at you!
