Gluten-Free Lime & Pistachio Cookies

These lovely zesty Gluten-Free Lime & Pistachio Cookies make a tasty tea-time treat. Pistachios are a good source of dietary fibre and act as a prebiotic, helping feed and enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Almond meal is a great gluten-free alternative to regular flour. Almonds are rich in protein needed to repair and restore the body, along with help keep blood sugar levels balanced. Almonds also provide calcium for strong bones and heart healthy fats. Lime zest is jam-packed with flavonoids, which are compounds that act as powerful antioxidants in the body.
