When Is The Best Time To Eat Almonds?

When is the best time to eat almondsAlmonds are a nutritious food that can be eaten at any time of the day, but there are some optimal times to consume them for maximum benefits. Here are some recommended times when you can eat almonds.

Best Time To Eat Almonds

  • As a Snack: Almonds are a great snack option that can be eaten on their own or mixed with other nuts and dried fruits for added flavour and nutrition. They can be eaten between meals to provide a quick and satisfying energy boost.
  • In the Morning: Consuming almonds in the morning can help to provide sustained energy throughout the day. They can be added to breakfast cereals, oatmeal, smoothies, or eaten on their own.
  • Before a Workout: Eating almonds before a workout can provide a source of energy and help to fuel the body during exercise. Almonds can be eaten alone or mixed with other fruits or protein sources to create a pre-workout snack.
  • After a Workout: Consuming almonds after a workout can help to replenish energy stores and aid in muscle recovery. They can be eaten alone or mixed with other sources of protein, such as yoghurt or cottage cheese.
  • Before Bed: Eating almonds before bed can help to promote satiety and prevent late-night hunger pangs. They can be eaten on their own or added to a cup of warm milk for added comfort and relaxation.

A Word Of Caution

It’s important to note that while almonds are nutritious, they are also relatively high in calories. So, it’s important to consume them in moderation and be mindful of portion sizes. The recommended serving size for almonds is about 1 ounce or 23 almonds, which contains approximately 160 calories. Additionally, people with nut allergies should avoid consuming almonds or any other nuts.

Healthy Snacks You Can Eat At Work

healthy eating at work

Does work keep you so engrossed that you forget to eat your meals on time? Have tight deadlines derailed your eating habits? Health and diet are our last priority while climbing the professional ladder. Is there a way to eat healthy at work? Do smaller meals work? Is it advisable to carry healthy snacks?

While it is a highly debatable topic whether one should eat smaller meals or 3 square meals a day, both have their share of pros and cons. I would advise you to choose the best of both worlds by opting for healthy snacks whenever possible.

Here is a List of a Few Healthy Snacks You Can Eat At Work:

  1. Nuts and Dry Fruits: You can carry a trail mix of Almonds, Walnuts, Cashew Nuts, Pistachios, Figs, Dried Apricot, Dates, Raisins, etc. Fox Nuts [makhana] is considered as a superfood that is loaded with fiber. You can also add some Roasted Grams and a handful of Peanuts to it. Try these protein packed flavored Makhana from the GOQii Health Store.
  2. Energy Bars: Protein Bars, Granola Bars, and Health Bars all provide a good amount of nutrition. The convenience of carrying and eating one during office hours is unparalleled. These bars are a great way to pump up your protein levels as well. Try these Choco Almond Protein Bars from the GOQii Health Store.
  3. Sprouts: help in reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. They prevent anaemia and aid digestion, making it a great choice for healthy snacking! Don’t just stick to Mung Sprouts, you can also add variations like Chickpeas, Black Gram, Red Kidney Beans, Soya Beans, etc. The chances of foodborne illnesses greatly diminish with homemade sprouts.
  4. Fruits: are often ignored and are not included in one’s daily diet. Having them as mid meals can do wonders for your health. Grab locally grown or seasonal fruits and welcome all those healthy vitamins and minerals into your body!
  5. Sweet Potato: Another healthy and delicious snack is eating boiled or roasted Sweet Potatoes. Being high in dietary fiber, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it should be consumed more frequently. A dash of Date and Jaggery Chutney will make it super healthy and yummier!
  6. Sweet Corn: Have them boiled, steamed or roasted. Sweet Corn provides flavonoid and carotene which help fight free radicals. Besides this, it is rich in vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E.
  7. Smoothies: are an excellent way to incorporate fruits and nuts in one go. Whip up 2-3 fruits along with nuts and seeds. You can add some milk or coconut water to make it in a smooth consistency. Try making an Apple, Banana, Grape and Date Smoothie. It is absolutely delicious!
  8. Diet Snacks: The market is flooded with healthy diet food like Diet Puffed Rice, Diet Khakharas, high protein biscuits, etc. But choose wisely because Diet Puffed Rice with liberal amounts of Sev won’t serve the purpose.

While mid-meal snacks are important, you need to take care of the portions you eat. Although carrying nutritious mid-meal snacks require time and effort, having it ready with you helps avoid the other unhealthy alternatives and the guilt that accompanies them.
