Chocolate-Pistachio Kiwi

Drizzle melted dark chocolate onto sliced kiwis and sprinkle with pistachio nuts for a fast (5 minutes) healthy dessert or snack that satisfies your sweet, salty cravings. Dark chocolate is an excellent source of disease-fighting antioxidants and essential minerals like iron. Kiwis are also rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins C & K. They are known to support healthy digestion and immunity as well as heart health. Pistachios are also quite healthy as they are a source of prebiotic fiber that feeds the good bacteria in our guts. They are associated with weight management and blood sugar regulation.
