Hands down the best snack there is. As Dr. Oz says, they are the perfect snack because ”nuts are high in fiber and protein, they’ll satiate you so you’ll never be hungry.”
I keep a bag in my car and it keeps me from doing something “more damaging” when I am running late and starving! A handful of almonds will get you through! My kids love them to!
I like them as is, but you can toast them, add spices, or even soak them in water for a few hours (to bring out a sweeter flavor, or add them to shakes).
A handful is about 1 ounce. If you don’t trust yourself to eat only about 1 oz at a time try the ones Trader Joe’s sells pre-packaged in handy little 1 ounce snack bags. Genius!

It’s important to note that Dr Oz is referring to RAW almonds – often more difficult to find, but they are available at Trader Jo’s
