Grain, Nuts, and You

On to the third section of my food group. Grains and nuts. Now, if you need a recap of the other items on my food list you can check out the meats and the veggies, by clicking on the respective words. The links will take you directly to the blog post. Magic!

Almonds - These nuts make the perfect snack, especially for that mid-afternoon crunchy salty craving we all get. Almonds pack a bunch of protein and calcium in them and provide other health benefits, such as lowering bed cholesterol and giving us the good fats we need in our bodies. Eat about a handful of these as a snack and you will be full.

Noodles - Basic carb packing material and pasta is just plain downright amazing. If you don't love pasta, you probably should learn to love it.

Rice - Again, carbs carbs carbs. Great side dish and many different ways of cooking rice. Try making yellow rice! My roommate has an amazing, easy recipe on how to make yellow rice. I will post is sometime in the future for you guys.

Bread - PB&J's, toast for cheese, toast for your avocado. So many uses!

Peanut Butter - Packed with protein and important oils, peanut butter works like magic to fill you up and works well in a smoothie to give you that extra protein boost. Later on I will post an protein shake recipe.

Happy eating!!
