Creating your own trail mix is a great way to get creative and customize it to your own taste. Choose your favorite nuts, dried fruits, seeds, and even some chocolate chips and create the perfect snack.
Take some raw nuts and put them in the oven, or even better, on the grill. Roasting your own nuts not only brings out their flavor but is also a great way to add a smoky flavor to them.
Mix up some nuts with honey and spread it on toast for a sweet treat, dip pretzels in melted chocolate and sprinkle with chopped nuts for a salty sweet snack, or even try making your own nut butter!
Most restaurants offer dishes that contain some type of nut. Take a look at the menu and find something that sounds interesting to you and give it a try!
Nuts are not only delicious, they're also an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and protein. They are packed with healthy fats, dietary fiber, calcium and magnesium which all contribute to good overall health. Eating nuts can reduce your risk of developing autoimmune disorders, heart disease and some types of cancer.
Nuts are known for their ability to help keep you full and satisfied. The combination of fat, protein and complex carbohydrates makes them an incredibly filling food that can help stave off hunger cravings between meals. Try adding a handful of unsalted nuts to your breakfast or lunch for satisfying fuel throughout the day!

From cashews to walnuts to almonds and more, you have countless options when it comes to choosing your favorite nut. Plus, they come in different forms such as raw, roasted, salted or even chocolate covered - so there's something for everyone!
