Cinnamon Almonds

Nuts are a great addition to your children’s diet. Experts recommend including 1 ounce of nuts per day. The reason?

• They are richly dense with good fats, including Omega 3, ALA, and monounsaturated fats.
• They are rich in vitamin E.
• They are highly satiating so they make a perfect snack.
• They are rich in magnesium and zinc.

Nuts with a high amount of nutrients and that taste good too are walnuts, almonds, peanuts, and cashews.

Ingredients

• 1 lb almonds
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
