Snack of the Month – Almonds

We always have almonds in the house, and lately I’ve begun stocking raw almond butter — like peanut butter but better!

A handful of almonds is a great snack, filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats as well as Vitamin E, magnesium and

manganese.

Here is an idea for an Almond-rich breakfast for a busy day when you might not get lunch:

2 Rivita or other rye flatbread

2 tablespoons almond butter

1 banana, sliced

Spread one tablespoon of almond butter on top of each flatbread, and top with slices of banana.

This also makes a good after- school snack.
