Dietitian showcases snacks to keep your heart healthy this February

FORT MYERS, Fla. —

February is Heart Health Month, and registered dietitian nutritionist Gisela Bouvier is sharing heart-healthy snacks and drinks to incorporate into daily diets to support heart health.

Bouvier recommends pistachios as a great choice for reducing the risk of heart disease.

Pistachios are a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids, and they are naturally cholesterol-free and full of fiber.

Bouvier demonstrated making a pistachio trail mix.

"The big game is this weekend, so why not make a heart-healthy snack?" she said.

For beverages, Bouvier discussed POM Wonderful, which is 100% pomegranate juice.

Both Wonderful Pistachios and POM Wonderful are available at Publix, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods and the Fresh Market.
