Almonds are the most nutrient-dense nut variety. A single serving (about 30g or 20 almonds) is an excellent source of Vitamin E and Magnesium, and a great source of protein, fiber, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. They are also rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as phytosterols.
Prunes are big on "No" – as in no added sugar, no cholesterol, no sodium, and no fat. This makes it easy (and smart!) to say "Yes" to this delicious fruit. Beyond their nutritional profile, they offer a sweet, indulgent taste that provides a full serving of "yum" for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a quick snack.
