How do you incorporate nuts and seeds into your snacks or meals?
I am a huge advocate of nuts and seeds as well! Sprinkling ground flax, chia seeds or raw walnuts on oatmeal and salads are excellent ways to incorporate these tasty suoerfoods. I also like almond butter on gluten-free low glycemuc black rice toast for a pre- workout energy boost.
Happy Holidays!

I mix chia seeds with my oatmeal to camouflage the taste and on top I add some nuts. Plus I have a glass of all natural grapefruit juice with Super Berry with Acai.
I know I had started my day in a very healthy way.
Perfect breakfast!
Happy New Year!
I am in love with eating nuts, I soak Almonds in water and keep it for a couple of days before eating them to believe it will be less acidic in the body and easier to digest it, I love to eat Walnuts with cheese and a piece of Whole Grain Bread, also use in salads, sometime I make food with it along with Pomegranate Sauce or Juice, I eat all other seeds as well in salads or as snack, even I add Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds to my Oatmeal and Salads. The bottom line is we can add all the Nuts to Salads.

I am in loved with the combination of flax and chia seeds, grind those and mix them in juices (100% unsweetened), on the go, or add them on just anything!
Dr. Perricone. Is there a type of bread that you would recommend?
Thank you
Hi Yolanda. Dr. Perricone doesn’t recommend eating bread regularly. If you do choose to eat bread, look for bread that contains oat, barley, spelt and flax seeds.
My husband loves to crunch. I am trying to get dry snack recipes to put in his lunch instead of chips. Any great mixes would help. thanks
