Almonds!

Today’s snack/super food is Almonds. At the grocery store I selected, dry roasted whole almonds – unsalted. I also got a small bag of almond slivers (not pictured) to add to pastas and salads.

Info from Real Simple’s Article = Almonds are packed with monounsaturated fatty acids, which keep blood vessels healthy. The plant fibers help lower cholesterol. Try this: Fold chopped almonds into cooked whole grains, along with raisins or dried currants. 


 Here’s my little bag of almonds for my snack at work today. Cheers!
