Toast Your Nuts.

Do it, just do it.  Nuts provide a wonderful source of protein, good fat, and vegans can eat them!  Almonds, walnuts and pistachios are an optional snack on Take Shape for Life.  So for those days when you have the munchies or just want to eat something, you can eat nuts.  But for goodness sake toast them!  Just throw them on a cookie sheet in a pre-heated 350* oven  for around 15 minutes.  Delicious!  I also toast walnuts, pine-nuts; really just any kind of nut should be toasted! I hope this tip changed your life, because once I started toasting my nuts, it changed mine.
Happy toasting,
Tara
