Do you get those in between your meal cravings while at work? Trust us, you aren’t alone. One great snack you can buy in bulk nowadays are nuts and nut mixes. Nuts are full of nutrients such as protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Here is a brief rundown of nuts and their nutrient profile:

• Cashews – High in Vitamin E, Magnesium, and Zinc
• Almonds – Has the highest protein and fiber content of all tree nuts. Just like cashews, almonds are high in Vitamin E, and are also a source of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Vitamin B2 and B3.
