Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts have a somewhat sweet, buttery, and toasted flavor, making them a very tasty protein source.

Hazelnuts are high in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats. They may also provide health benefits, such as lowering blood fat levels, controlling blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and improving blood sugar levels.

Adding hazelnuts to your diet may also help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, lessening your risk of heart disease.

Make your own homemade "Nutella" spread for a high-protein snack. 1 cup (135 g) hazelnuts, 2 scoops (60 g) chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon (6 g) cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons (30 mL) maple syrup

HIGHLIGHT:

• Hazelnuts contain 5 grams of protein per 1/4-cup (34-gram) serving. Consuming more hazelnuts may assist improve heart health and lessen the risk of heart disease in addition to increasing protein intake.
