Ingredients: Pistachio Nut Butter, Strawberry, Cashew, Vanilla, Rolled Oats, Pure Cacao, Touch of Maple Syrup. This is a dream within a dream. pistachios are all the rage. cashews aren’t even a real nut. Oats are gluten-free. Dubai doesn’t have the best chocolate—this does, and créme? She’s vegan now.

Fun Factoids: 

Pistachios aren’t just trending—they’ve been a status snack since 7000 BC. In the ancient world, they were reserved for royalty (and now, apparently, for green creamy dreamers). Cashews? Plot twist—they’re not true nuts; they’re seeds that grow outside the fruit, like rebellious little weirdos. Bonus: they contain compounds that may boost your mood, which is great because someone needs to. Vanilla, meanwhile, is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron, harvested by hand from orchid flowers that only bloom for 24 hours. Drama queen energy.

Rolled oats are naturally gluten-free, though they’ve spent most of their lives being gaslit by wheat-adjacent factories. They’re packed with fiber and keep you full without making you feel like a brick. Cacao—pure, unrefined, unbothered—is loaded with magnesium, iron, and flavonoids that your brain and heart quietly thank you for. And maple syrup? A tree’s love language, basically. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup, which feels excessive, but deliciously worth it.

Fortune: Breath is the bridge between body and mind, anchoring us to the present when thought tries to run away. Every inhale is a chance to return, and every exhale is a quiet rebellion against anxiety. More on breathing...

Tip: When you feel anxious, the diaphragm naturally tightens. This, along with other physical tensions and a rising heart rate, signals the brain via the vagus nerve that something's wrong. Try 10 slow, deep nasal breaths—inhale fully, exhale completely. In no time, you’ll be soaring above the Himalayas, calm and clear. It takes 2 to 30 years to master, but it’s the only thing that reliably returns us to a parasympathetic state. That, and maybe this tiramisu.
