Pecans

Pecans are high in antioxidants, contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc. One ounce of pecans provides 10 percent of the recommended Daily Value for fiber. Pecans are also a natural, high-quality source of protein that contain very few carbohydrates and no cholesterol. Pecans are also naturally sodium-free, making them an excellent choice for those on a salt or sodium restricted diet.
 



Here is a little recipe I found:

 Pecan Protein Smoothie

In a blender add:
1/2 cup almond milk
1/3 cup pecans
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1/2 cup non fat plain yoghurt
1 scoop vanilla iso-whey
1 tbsp ground cocoa or carob chips
Ice/blend

ENJOY!
