SUPERFOOD – NUTS

Nuts are packed with protein, essential minerals, and unsaturated healthy fats, these easy to digest bite size kernels are heart and brain healthy as well as athletic fuel-friendly! But how much nuts per serving?

What’s a handful of nuts?

A handful of nuts is 30 grams (weigh your nuts on a small kitchen scale for the 1st couple of times), but in general 30 grams is about the equivalent of one of the following: 19 Almonds; 10 Walnut halves; 19 Hazelnuts; 35 Pistachios; 14 Pecans; 16 Cashews; 4 Chestnuts; 13 Macadamia… Snack on your nuts or sprinkle them over salads.

If you are an athlete MIX 30 grams of your favorite nuts and eat them between 2 trainings. This mix will help you get a variety of essential minerals particular to each nut, ensuring a sensible balanced replenishment, a faster recovery and a reduction in muscle soreness (limited DOMS’ syndrome effects)
