There’s no doubt about it- almonds are a nutritional powerhouse, offering benefits to various systems of the body. Eat them on their own, or with other foods. Just one word of caution- though it’s true that the almonds themselves are healthy, sweets and treats like Almond Joy bars and rocky road ice cream still contain lots of calories from sugar that are not outweighed by the benefits of the almonds.
Fortunately, a mostly vegetable-based whole foods diet tends to be rich in nutrients and low in calories, so you’ll probably have a little wiggle room if you’re eating healthily otherwise.
