Almonds are a versatile nut that can be used as a healthy alternative in just about any form you can imagine. They’re great for eating, crunching, flavoring, topping, drinking, spreading, cooking or baking. It’s up to you to choose which form to use.
These are the types of almonds that many people use as snacks when they are wanting to get a little bit of energy back into their day. They can also be used in baking and creating different kinds of bars (energy, chocolate, etc.). You can have them raw, roasted, or flavored into something that is more sweet to the taste, they also can be organic for those that need it.
These are the types of almonds that go great in a variety of salads! In fact, we have a tasty Chinese Chicken Salad recipe that uses sliced almonds and would be perfect for lunch. Sliced and flaked almonds are also the ones you see on top of bakery items and in cereal.
A wonderful, healthy treat for anyone, flavored almonds can spice up a snack or sweeten a sundae. Country herb and garlic, barbecue, cinnamon glazed or chocolate covered are just a few sample of flavors that should get your taste buds tingling to give them a try.
This is great for people who are lactose-intolerant, vegan or simply choose to stay away from dairy products. It’s made by grinding the almond in a blender with water, then straining out the almond pulp. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated and has some major health benefits too.
Perfect for when you want to substitute a type of spread or ingredient when either cooking or baking. For instance, when you are wanting to bring peanut butter cookies to a party but you know someone has a peanut allergy, use smooth almond butter instead. It will still give you a great tasting cookie with the added bonus that everyone can eat them!
Use this as an alternative to vegetable oil or coconut oil when cooking or baking. It also works great as an ingredient in salad dressings. You can even use it as a moisturizer!
Made with ground almond, the consistency of almond flour or almond meal is more like corn meal than wheat flour. Its typical uses include making sauces thicker, coating for fried foods, an ingredient and filling for confections, or an enhancer for baked goods, adding a rich, nutty flavor.
Almonds are a healthy nut that can be used in nearly everything, it just depends on what form you use it. Find a form that best suits your lifestyle and make adding almonds to the foods you eat daily a simple task.
