It's no military secret that super foods have amazing health benefits so why not incorporate them as much as possible in your everyday menu. The sky's the limit so get creative because there are gazillions of fun ways to add in seeds and nuts to your time honored recipes. Grandma would be proud of me for this one!
Just think how impressed everyone is going to be when you show up at a neighbor's cookout with these treats or how about superstar chef status when you entertain and bring these out on a pretty platter. Don't be fooled by the color. It's just the Green Matcha Tea and the taste is downright delectable. Just a light hint of green tea taste with a luscious creamy texture then you get that little bite of dark chocolate from the chips. The crust is tender and not too sweet and lastly the crunch from the perfectly roasted pistachios........ Heaven!
