What is not to love about almonds? Known for being a protein powerhouse in the nut family, and being used in such diverse ways these days, I thought I would share with you a range of recipes that highlight just how versatile they really are! From toasted in a salad, to ground into almond meal and used in baking, there really are a million ways to include almonds in your diet. Here are the 10 best almond recipes I’ve rounded up to get you started: 1. Spiced quinoa with almonds and feta from the BBC Good Food website: 2. Warm broccoli salad with kale, lime and roasted almonds, yum! from The Healthy Chef website: 3. Homemade almond butter (would be delicious on sliced apples!) from The Green Forks blog: Yum!
