I always thought raw almonds are used for baking. When I saw this packet of raw almonds at the snacks section in Trader Joe's, I just could not resist the curiosity to try it ... and amazingly, never thought that the raw taste of almonds could be so crunchy and actually sweet ..
Calories Peek: One 1/4 cup of almonds = 160 calories ... gives you the recommended levels of vitamins, minerals, and protein you need for each day !
My beauty excuse: Do you know that almond is actually a girl's best friend ? It has excellent source of vitamin E which helps to skin maintenance, rich in unsaturated fats which helps to lower the bad cholesterol, rich source of calcium which helps to prevent osteoporosis ... just to name a few ... definitely a good healthy munch that you can snack on every minute without having to worry about putting an ounce of fats :)
