Most Nutritious Snack (and it involves chocolate!)

Perhaps the most nutitious thing to add you any diet is the almond.  Almonds provide for a great snack, with many nutritional benefits.  These tasty nuts are packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and monosaturated fats (which are very heart healthy).  I'm not a huge nut fan, however the Emerald brand Cocoa Roasted almonds are insanely yummy!  You can buy them in 100 calorie packs and add major nutrients to your diet, while still enjoying a bit of chocolate!  I highly recommend snacking on this heart healthy treat daily.
