Almonds
Nuts eaten whole are considered a protein, in the same category as seeds, meats and eggs. They may also be processed into an oil. But nuts have more than protein and fat going for them. They're filled with vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.
Almnds are a good example. They are tree nuts and can be used whole or ground into butter and everything in between. Almonds add crunch to snack time, salads and dishes that range from appetizers to desserts.
Almnds are a source of magnesium, calcium and folate. Just 1 ounce of almonds meets a large amount of the daily need for vitamin E. And most of the fat in almonds is in the form of monounsaturated fatty acids. This type of fat, when it replaces saturated fat, is linked to heart health.
Nuts are a strong adition to a healthy diet. But they can pack a big calorie punch. So watch portion size and make sure the nuts you chose fit into your daily calorie plan. Choose unsalted whole nuts or nut butter without added salt/sugar.
I use almonds in my oats and yoghurt whenever I have them.
