  • Vital antioxidants and Vitamin E are concentrated in almond skin (try to avoid blanched) - these protect your cells from oxidative damage which contributes to aging and disease.

  • Magnesium rich, which helps to convert food into energy, lowers blood pressure, assists in the contraction and relaxation of muscles and regulates neurotransmitters.

  • Almonds also help to lower the levels of LDL lipoproteins in your blood, or ‘bad’ cholesterol, which is a well-known risk factor for heart disease.

Ingredients

  • 200g whole almonds

  • 2 tsp olive or rapeseed oil

  • 2 tsp honey or maple syrup

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
