Take Note...

Nuts are a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. But, they’re also fairly high in calories - and way too easy to eat by the handful!  Here is a new, smart way to portion them out:  put them on a Post-it.  Each 3 by 3 inch piece of paper fits a 1 ounce serving of nuts!  (that’s about 24 almonds, 35 peanuts or 49 pistachios)  Goodbye, guesstimation!  The only place I have ever seen the snack packs of almonds is Trader Joe’s!  Now I can portion them out for many afternoon snack - sorry work - I might be using more Post-its than usual!!!

I love these little tidbits!

Until Monday - keep thinking veggies and protein!
