As if almonds weren't already tasty enough, Blue Diamond has added brown sugar and cinnamon to sweeten the deal. Not only is it crazy good, it is also crazy good for you, as cinnamon adds even more health benefits to the almonds. Cinnamon lowers cholesterol and contains iron, fiber, manganese and calcium. Also, Blue Diamond packages these in creative containers that make it easy to measure out one portion size of almonds - good thinking! Now you don't have to guess (or count 24 nuts) to know when you have poured out one portion. I wish other companies would follow their lead and do more of this...controlling portions is one of the big keys to health and weight loss. Remember, although almonds are higher in calories and fat, they are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, protein and fiber. They also have omega-3 fatty acids which may help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and thus may lower the risk of heart disease.

Almond Accents are totally amazing! I know I've been slow to figure this one out, but now that I have, I'm their #1 fan. You can get this "no sodium" variety, which is so much better for you. There are a million other all natural and delicious flavors though, with butternut toffee topping my list. Remember almonds are a great way to get fiber, protein, potassium, iron, calcium and vitamin E without saturated fat, so they are really good for you in small quantities. They are high in calories and fat though, so don't go crazy on portion size (these come all sliced up which really helps with that). I've had these every night this week on different salads and can officially say I'm an Almond Accents nut!
