A Fist Full of Almonds

Almonds.  They are delicious.  They are small.  And they are probably one of the best things you can include in your diet that will help out in the healthy department.  After a workout, I usually make a cup of tea and grab a fist full of almonds, which is surprisingly the amount in a regular serving size (about 26-28 almonds).  They taste great.  In butter form is probably the best form ever.  Almond butter is healthy as hell, full of fiber, low in sugars and has plenty of those little nutrients we all forget about (Monounsaturated Fat and Polyunsaturated Fats).  I buy them in bulk, which saves about 90 cents.  I don't think I'll go back to eating peanut butter, mainly because almond butter is becoming more and more popular and is just better for you.  Peanut butter is high in sugar, bad fat content, and cholesterol.  Almond butter is pretty much the opposite, and when you read the ingredients in almond butter, there's only one.  Almonds.
