As girls who love healthy food, at the same time we love food that packs a satisfying punch. And really, who doesn’t?! 🙂 Most of us can appreciate those foods that are so satisfying that we don’t have to eat mounds of it to feel satiated?

A lot of our clients love nuts for this reason– they are super satisfying snacks, with a great crunch to boot. We love that nuts are packed with good-for-you fats, fiber, and phytonutrients and although they add up quickly in calories, they can be a healthy snack that tides you over for hours. Here is a delish recipe that feels like an indulgent splurge yet is healthy—and it quickly takes that edge off hunger within a couple crunches. So this is a great snack when you want something a little different that really cuts the hunger. Just be sure to stick to the portion as like all nuts the calories add up. We suggest having it with a warm cup of tea to really satiate and pacify you and really taking your time to savor the great flavor and crunch and enjoy it.
