Whether you’re a last-minute lover or planning a Galentine’s day soiree, POM Wonderful and Wonderful Pistachios have some Valentine’s day ideas everyone’s guaranteed to love, with the help of Registered Dietitian, Libby Hill.

Hi, Libby! Where do we start?

Libby says, “Hi! Thank you so much for having me! I’m really excited to be partnering with the wonderful company to share the perfect drink and dish combination this Valentine’s Day! Don’t forget, February is also American Heart Month. This spicy POM paloma mocktail is the most refreshing to say ‘I love you!’

“The wow factor comes from POM Wonderful´s 100% pomegranate juice. Each bottle contains the juice of whole-pressed pomegranates, and that’s it. There’s no added sugar, filler or preservatives. A paloma is traditionally made with mezcal, so you can substitute with a zero-proof mezcal option! It’s smoky and spicy and it’ll make you pucker up, thanks to the flavors of POM Wonderful and grapefruit juice. Rim your glass with tajín and toast to true love! This is also a great recipe to batch out for your Galentine’s day party!”

These tacos look incredible, too. What’s your secret?

“Tacos are my love language and these are one of my favorite plant-forward recipes. They’re filled with pistachios and hominy, with an avocado pistachio cream slaw. These are just layered with flavor: they’re topped with briny pickled onions and the perfect crunch of wonderful pistachios.

“As a Registered Dietitian, I love that Wonderful Pistachios are a complete protein: they provide all nine essential amino acids, plus about 90% of the fats found in pistachios are unsaturated, which may keep you feeling fuller, longer. There are ‘no salt’ and ‘low salt’ varieties, plus great flavors.”
