Mediterranean Sardine Pâté

Mediterranean Sardine Pâté

This pâté is rich in flavor… but even richer in mood-boosting nutrients. Sardines are packed with essential omega-3’s (EPA and DHA) that comprise brain tissue and also a compound called DMAE that builds neurotransmitters. A recent study found that DMAE helps to reset the electrical patterns of brain activity and promote a sense of well-being.1 Serve this “happetizer” with thin crackers (try low calorie, extra crunchy Mary’s Gone Crackers) or raw vegetable slices.
