Nuts and seeds contain loads of protein, antioxidants, fiber, and of course MUFA’s.
~They are extremely versatile and can be eaten by themselves for an on-the-go snack—make sure to tuck a small bag of them into your purse so hunger doesn’t catch you off guard.
~Nuts and seeds can be added to salads, yogurt, and of course used as a vegetable topper. One of my favorite side-dishes is green beans with toasted almonds. Yum!
~You can add sunflower seeds to applesauce for an unexpected twist, and make sure to try roasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled on homemade pumpkin soup. A wonderful treat and healthy too.
~Nuts make cereal more nutritious. Sprinkle walnuts on plain oatmeal and add a bit of Splenda.
~Use nuts for a crunchy topping for chicken and fish—delish!
~Mix nuts and seeds into breads, muffins, and pancakes.
~Natural peanut butter can be spread on whole-grain toast, apple slices, pear slices, and of course celery (don’t forget the raisins!)
~For a little adventure and a wonderful taste, try almond butter, cashew butter, and sunflower seed butter.
