A nutritious mid-morning or afternoon snack can provide the fuel boost you need to stay focused until it's time to clock out. A good snack is also like a mini-break for your mind and a treat for your senses.
Healthy snacks are a great addition to any healthy lifestyle to help optimise nutrition and provide satisfaction between meals! Forget guilty pleasure, there’s no guilt in snacking as long as you choose the right foods!
Nuts are among the best sources of plant-based proteins. They’re on practically every smart-snacking list for a variety of reasons. To begin with, they're simple to carry or store in an office drawer or pantry if you're on the run. Furthermore, in addition to protein and other minerals, all nuts have cholesterol-lowering fibre, which helps you feel fuller for longer and eat less.
Nuts have been linked to lots of big health benefits. Along with “good” fats that may lower your LDL or "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels, most nuts also contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which may help prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries
It’s time to go nuts about nuts!
Did you know that just a handful of almonds, approximately 28 grams, contains one-eighth of a person’s daily protein needs?
Almonds contain vitamins, minerals, protein, and fibre. Being high in unsaturated fat, almonds negate the risk of bad cholesterol while making sure the good cholesterol remains at necessary levels. Ella’s Salted Almonds helps curb appetite and significantly improves vitamin E and monounsaturated fat intake.
They also significantly increase the levels of antioxidants in the bloodstream, reduce blood pressure, and improve blood flow. Ella’s toasted Coconut Almond is good for your taste buds and your heart!
They are also known to be rich in Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, Vitamin K, Protein, and Zinc. These help in improving your bone health.

Cashews are a versatile addition to any diet. Eat them on their own, add them to your favourite dishes, or use them to make cashew-based sauces, pastes and desserts
Rich in protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants such as polyphenols, cashews offer a variety of health benefits. Cashews help prevent heart disease due to their high magnesium content as well.
Cashews are low in sugar and rich in fibre, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They’re also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese — nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health.

Adding nuts to your daily diet
Though nuts are quite high in calories, research shows that your body doesn’t absorb all of them, as a portion of fat stays trapped within the nut’s fibrous wall during digestion.
In short, nuts have been shown to promote weight loss rather than contribute to weight gain.
Nuts may be one of the best foods for people with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
First off, they’re low in carbs and don’t raise blood sugar levels much. Thus, substituting nuts for higher-carb foods leads to reduced blood sugar levels.
