Party Nut Mix

Who doesn’t love a little bit of trail mix action? This is an awesome combination of nuts and the spices on top are guilt free! Just a little bit of oil and maple syrup and voila, you’ve got yourself a tasty little treat to munch on while you’re waiting on the main dish. Remember: Nuts are packed with healthy fats, but they are still high in calories, so enjoy in moderation! 🙂

Further Food Commentary:

I definitely agree with Shanna- while nuts are good for you, they do pack a lot of calories in a small amount. Keep your portion size to a small handful. This nut mix could also work as a filling snack between meals or an on-the-go breakfast. Try using it as a topping for yogurt. Nuts are high in omega-3 fats, which have an influential role in the cascade of hormonal responses that regulate blood clotting and inflammation. Regular intake of omega-3s has been associated with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke, and is being studied for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and eczema, and many other conditions. Other good sources of omega-3s include cold water fish like mackerel and tuna, flax, chia & hemp seeds, and olive & canola oils.
