Benefit of Almonds

W

Almonds!!!!!!! 


  • Very high in vitamin E. 
  • Beneficial in protecting against cancer, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes, arthritis, infertility, and skin problems. 
  • Great snack to manage hunger and maintain blood sugar levels. 
  • Good source of calcium. 
  • High in monounsaturated fats to protect the heart. ❤️.


I like to soak them in coconut water with a bit of cinnamon. I usually soak them at least overnight.  You can use the coconut water later for a smoothie. 😀







Make sure to get almonds still in their skin. Keep in the refrigerator.



Here is a recipe we love to pack in lunches or gobble as a snack. 😃
Oven Baked Cinnamon Almonds


2 cups soaked almonds
     
( I like to soak mine in coconut water and cinnamon at least overnight). Amazing flavor just like this, but if you want to have a bit of fun…continue on 😊


¼ powdered sugar


1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Dash of salt

Dash of cayenne


Drain water off of almonds and save for a smoothie later. 😃

Dry off almonds completely and place in a container with lid or ziplock bag. 
Add the powdered sugar and shake shake shake. 💃🏾
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and place almonds on sheet. 

Smooth almonds into one layer. 

Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes. 
Just until the powdered sugar crystallizes onto almonds. 
While almonds baking mix salt and cayenne in small bowl. 

Remove from oven and sprinkle with cayenne salt mixture while warm. 



Enjoy
