Pistachios are the only good source of protein among popular snack nuts, with more than 10% of the daily value for protein per serving.
“They provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete plant protein,” says Manaker.
The multipack of bags contains just under an ounce of nuts, making it easy to control portions. “The chili roasted variety offer a major kick that has a perfect combo of red pepper, garlic and vinegar, making them a go-to addition to healthy meals. From using them as a coating for fish (when crushed) to a protein addition to salads, these pistachios are a lifesaver.”
“Chia seeds also contain numerous health benefits, including 1,200 mg of omega-3s and filling fibers,” says Nicolai. These blueberry and blackberry chia seed squeeze pouches make for easy, on-the-go snacks with no added sugar. Keep them on hand, in your purse, or pack as travel snacks.
