Rosemary roasted almonds
Almonds are an energy dense food, packed with good nutrients but also calories. This almonds are great as a afternoon snack but hey need to be eaten instead of another snack, not in addition to it. As an added bonus, almonds do not seem to contribute to increased weight gain as they promote satiety. To stick to the recommended serving size, portion out your almonds in small containers or plastic bags, or place them on a small dish prior eating.
