Almonds:
When trying out almonds, you want to get in a bit more than brazil nuts. But they still pack a nutrient punch in just 6-10 almonds.

Almonds also have tons of fiber, vitamin E, as well as plenty of healthy monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are necessary to consume on a regular basis to maintain a healthy metabolism, heart, and much more.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight off free radicals in the body. Too many free radicals can lead to more frequent illnesses.
