Why the Mighty Almond?
Why are almonds the perfect snack? Because just 23 almonds a day, about one handful of almonds, gives the human body many important vitamins and minerals needed to function on a daily basis.
Of all the tree nuts, almonds are the highest in protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin, and niacin. A one-ounce serving of almonds has 13 grams of the good unsaturated fats, just 1 gram of saturated fat, and zero cholesterol.
In addition to its attractive nutrient profile, almonds are the perfect snack because they are convenient. Think about it - you’re out living your busy life when you’re hit with a sudden stomach growl. Hunger sets in. Fitting 23 almonds - the daily recommended serving size - is easy. Throw them in a Stasher container in your bag and you’re good to go!
Almonds are also versatile. Grind them into a nutrient dense, gluten free flour. Blend them with water into a dairy free milk. Combine with some chocolate and fruit for the perfect, guilt-free trail mix or sweet treat. Or, the best way, enjoy in your favorite plant-based, gluten-free FaroMia dip - the best way to fuel your day, fill your soul, and keep you going all day long!
