Jeremy Jones
Professional Snowboarder
National Geographic Adventurer of the Year
“My mountaineer friends told me that I needed protein, protein, protein for fuel and recovery. And so, I began to start my day with pistachios. Now, I look at them as my daily vitamin. A handful of pistachios provides the protein and nutrition I need before a big ride, and they are the first thing I put in my system after riding.”

"People ask me all the time what I like to eat after a workout. I tell them that I always have pistachios on hand because they’re the perfect post exercise snack. They are full of protein for nutrition power, healthy fats for your heart, and they naturally help control blood sugar to maintain blood glucose levels."
