As I learn more and more about health and nutrition, it’s impossible to ignore the health benefits of nuts! Almonds especially are a healthy nut and have become one of my favorite snacks. The numerous nutritional benefits of almonds are too long to list here but I found a great article on almonds which you can read by clicking here. After reading this article, I know I’m going to probably make them a daily snack! I’m also going to post a recipe I created earlier this week! (I’m getting so creative in the kitchen these days, aren’t I?) The recipe is for Almond Oatmeal and it turned out delicious!!!!
Almond Oatmeal
1 serving cooked oatmeal (Old Fashioned or steel-cut is best)
1 tblsp. natural almond butter
1/8 cup milk or almond milk
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1 drop almond extract or emulcifier
Stir ingredients together and enjoy!
