I try to never leave the house without a thermos of cold water and a healthy snack. Usually an apple and a little baggy of nuts. I bring more if I plan to be gone longer. Nuts are a great source of protein and fibre. I've converted to unprocessed nuts and organic whenever possible.
If you like candied nuts as a snack or a topping to oatmeal or a great chicken and apple salad, here's a recipe that will knock your sweet tooth socks off! Enjoy!
Candied Nuts
Line a cookie sheet w/parchment paper or a silicon liner. Spray with organic canola oil or coconut oil (coconut is super healthy and gives a sweeter taste). Preheat your oven to 250. In a mixing bowl mix add wet ingredients first: 1tsp real vanilla (imitation becomes bitter), 1 tsp coconut water, 1 tsp stevia and 1 tsp cinnamon, you can also add honey or real maple syrup and try other spices like nutmeg or even chili powder goes great with sweet. Mix wet in with 2 cups of pecans or walnuts until all nuts are saturated. Pour over baking sheet and cook for one hour: every 15 min flip the nuts w/a spatula.
