Nuts, Nuts, and Even More Nuts

Nuts are a healthy snack, yet not all nuts are created equal. Here are the suggested serving sizes for everyone's favorite nuts:

Almonds - 15 whole (dry-roasted recommended)
Brazil nuts - 4 whole
Cashews - 15 whole (dry-roasted recommended}
Pecans - 15 whole (dry-roasted recommended}
Macadamia - 8 whole (dry-roasted recommended)}
Natural peanut butter, chunky or smooth - 2 tablespoons
Other natural nut butters - 2 tablespoons
Peanuts - 20 small (may use dry-roasted or boiled)
Pine nuts (Pignoli) - 1 ounce
Pistachios - 30 whole (dry-roasted recommended}
Walnuts - 15 whole (dry-roasted recommended)
If nuts aren't your thing, then try a snack of up to 3 tablespoons of toasted flax seed, or up to 1 ounce of sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

"Pistachios - 30" hahahahahahaha! Hey, when I eat pistachios, I eat the whole damn bag. Sometimes BOTH bags!

I count out 30, eat those and then count out thirty more, and then just grab a handful. I keep the pecans in the freezer so it is harder to grab any of those. Nuts are my favorite snack. Peanut butter on celery is great too. Lizzie
