All aboard the Almond Train!

Did you know that today is National Almond Day? Almonds are by far one of the healthiest nuts to snack on but there are other uses for this healthy nut. 

Almond Milk is a great dairy free alternative to creamer or milk.  1 Cup of Almond Milk has 30 calories, 2.5g of fat, 1g Carbs, and 1g of protein. 

Almond Butter is a delicious alternative to peanut butter. Dip your apples or carrots in it, or just eat it with a spoon! 1TBSP of Almond Butter has 98 Calories, 9g of fat, 3g of carbs, and 3.4g of protein.

Almond Powder, the uses are endless!  Tortillas, pizza crust, cookies, muffins, and breads… you can’t go wrong by substituting almond powder to bake with.  Getting away from the refined flour will benefit you in more ways than you realize!

Almonds are beneficial for your cholesterol and cardiovascular health. They also help stabilize your hunger and insulin levels. 90% of the fat in almonds is unsaturated (the good kind), they are gluten free, nourishing for your skin, and a rich source of calcium, magnesium, vitamin E and B, and fiber.

If you haven't gotten on the Almond train you need to ASAP! It is a delicious snack and almond flour can be used instead of flour to create all sorts of HEALTHY yummy treats!
