There’s no doubt about it, this year has been rough, and many Canadians are feeling it in their waistlines. According to a recent study, nearly one-third of Canadians report gaining weight as a result of working out less and turning to comfort foods to deal with pandemic-related anxieties.

With these two new flavours inspired by the classic tried and true flavours, Canadians can reach for a smarter way to indulge by choosing a plant-based snack, that contains fibre and is part of many well-studied healthy eating patterns. Strapped for time? Whatever you’re juggling, Wonderful Pistachios No Shells can be added to some of your favourite recipes. Toss them onto salads instead of croutons or blend them into smoothies for an additional three grams of fibre per serving.

The two new flavours are available now at select online retailers across Canada and will be hitting store shelves nationwide by early April.
