Use Nuts to Upgrade Salads and Soups with Crunch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle toasted walnuts, hazelnuts, or cashews on salads. Add crushed pistachios or peanuts to soups for texture.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Healthy Nut Butters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, there are many kinds of nut butters. If you don\u2019t like peanut butter, you can switch it out with almond butter (or cashew butter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you may have guessed, peanut butter is calorie-dense, just like most other nut butters, so portion size matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the healthiest option, choose a sugar-free version made with 100% peanuts, and avoid added oils, sweeteners, or unnecessary fillers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply add it to a sandwich, blend it into a smoothie, or add it to oatmeal for an easy nutrition boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can You Eat Too Many Nuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nuts are healthy, but calorie-dense. That\u2019s why it is important to know how many calories 100 grams of nuts contain beforehand, so that you don\u2019t snack mindlessly. A small handful can be great fuel. A large handful every day can quickly add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating too many nuts at once can cause digestive issues. Because nuts are rich in fat and fiber, overdoing them may lead to gas, bloating, stomach discomfort, or even diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most packaged nuts are heavily salted, which can increase your sodium intake. Choosing raw or unsalted nuts is a better alternative and helps you avoid excess sodium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
