The Wonderful world of Almonds
I’m back again with another gem from the kitchen. Our wonder food this week is the miraculous almond. Yes, I know most of you know it’s good for you, but do you know why?
Well for those of you interested in losing weight this nut is a great. It’s chock full of fibre, protein and healthy unsaturated fats.
For every ¼ cup of almonds (roughly a handful), you get 7.5 grams of protein, 4.5 grams of fibre, and a whopping 15.25 grams of unsaturated (mono and polyunsaturated) fats.
Not sure if you’ve noticed while reading my blogs, but I’m a big, big fan of including unsaturated fats in your diet. My mantra is eliminate the empty carbs and sugars and increase the protein, fibre and unsaturated fats.
Until next time, eat well.

I guess eating Almonds in a chocolate bar doesn't count. I think they taste pretty bland, and that's saying something if I think it's bland. But maybe it's something I could try.
