"Next time you want a snack, consider grabbing a few handfuls of almonds. One serving--23 almonds (1 oz) --has 162 calories, and these tree nuts offer up plenty of protein, fiber and heart-healthy fats. Almonds are packed with protein; in fact, one serving provides 6g of protein, making them especially nutritious for vegetarians, who miss out on protein from animal sources. Adding them to salads, rice, oatmeal and yogurt will increase the protein count of the meal. A serving of almonds contains 3g of fiber. Fiber is a digestive aid, makes you feel full, and is known to help aid the prevention of diabetes. Sure, they do have some fat, about 14g. But almonds contain only 1g of saturated fat (the bad fat that gets stuck in your arteries), while the rest, monounsaturated (healthy fats) collect the saturated fat and remove it from the bloodstream, lowering cholesterol. The great thing about this versatile snack is that you can buy in bulk, easily store them, and they&amp;#039;re fantastic for on-the-go snacking! I love Wood Stock Farms almonds; they&amp;#039;re organic and are not a genetically modified organism (GMO). Before making any changes to your diet, be sure to check with your doctor.
