I regularly snack on a handful of almonds – dry roasted with just a little sea salt.
I love to snack on almonds. I have a 1/4 of a cup in the afternoon and it curbs my hunger until dinner time.
i have never really cared for almonds, but i found some almonds that are all natural made with sea salt and I just can’t get enough of them.
Sometimes I can find them with wasabi,(delicious!!) but they are made by a snack-food company. I wonder if they can be made at home somehow?
I have always loved almonds. My grandfather used to bring me Almonds from our land in Spain all the time. I found I like snacking on raw almonds with dried strawberries. I like how the almonds counteract the sweetness of the strawberries.
I like the wasabi, and the cajun spice, roasted locally and found for sale at our local farmer’s market. It does help with the hunger pangs.
I love almonds – raw, roasted, toasted. In fact I just had my cereal today topped with sliced toasted almonds, banana and some dried cranberries. I love snacking on almonds (well, all nuts, really). We like roasted & salted if it’s lower sodium ones and occasionally smoked house ones. They taste good, but not necessarily the healthiest.
I try to keep a little glass jar of almonds in my purse & in my car. It really helps curb the hunger right before grocery shopping or dining out!
I enjoy a handfull of roasted almonds in the afternoon to give me the boost until dinner time.
I had a hand full of Cocoa Roast Almonds (Dark Chocolate flavor)....yum!!
I eat a snack size bag of a half handful of each: almonds , walnuts and cranberries. In another I have ahandful of roasted edamame, with an apple and a round of lowfat cheese-Ihave lunch!
I keep a jar of roasted almonds on my desk at work. Not only do I love them, co-workers are enjoying them too! A good pick me up in the mid afternoon!!!
I am always snacking on Almonds plus my daughter and I only drink Almond milk. I have learned from watching “cook yourself thin” that i can start using chopped up almonds in place of butter YUMMY!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE them! I allow myself seven a day, because if I didn’t place limits on them, I’d probably gain like crazy!
i love all natural raw almonds they are very tasty and they fill me up too!
I mix almonds with craisens and sunflower seeds and eat them in small handfuls throughout the day; it gives me lots of energy.
I love almonds with a just little bit of fresh wasabi.
I mixed in 1/2 c to my vegan brown rice pilaf I made. It was curry-licious!
