Healthy, because
Pistachios are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Chia seeds provide the body with a lot of iron, calcium and high-quality amino acids.
Even smarter
If you don't like it so sweet, feel free to reduce the agave syrup or omit it altogether.
