I'm teaming up with California Almonds for this king-daddy of giveaways. The sweetest bag you've ever seen by a nut company. Almond flour, sliced almonds, raw almonds, almond butter, and perfect size tins.
I was very intrigued by this guy:
What exactly is almond flour and what the heck do you do with it? I had a lot of learning to do on this topic, and got most of my information from this gal. Want more almond flour recipes? Love this list from blogger Elena's Pantry I played around with making super-duper protein power balls with the almond flour. So versitle!
Serving size? Am for a handful, or a small shotglass sized. These tins, or an altoid tin are great to have in a person, at your desk and in your car for snack emergencies. These sweet little nuts are the highest protein, fiber, calcium, and vitamin E out of all the tree nuts.
Sliced almonds + almond butter are a fantastic addition to a smoothie. Did you know that US is the world's leading producer of Almonds? With 80% coming from California? Get me to Cali!
So you know you want this sweet bag, filled with almond goodness to arrive at your door. right?

Almonds are my favorite! I put them on oatmeal/yogurt for breakfast, eat with dried fruit for snacks, or eat on my my favorite salad of kale-sweet potato-lentils! Part of my diet everyday-would love to try even more almond products. Thanks!
I sliver raw almonds and have them on my greek yogurt in the morning.
I use almonds in salads the most! Putting them on top of green beans is the best way to get some nutty goodness on my greens!!
Ever since freshman year of college, I haven’t been able to stomach peanut butter. I made the transition to becoming a devoted almond butter consumer/lover. I recently have started using almond butter and chopped up almonds in my homemade ice cream!
I make the recipes up as I go along, but if you are looking for a good one: 4 frozen bananas, ½ cup of almond milk, 2 TBSP of cocoa powder, 3 TBSP almond butter, however many chopped up almonds you want and anything else you want to add! I added crushed up dark chocolate and graham crackers!
we use almonds in salads and baking
thanks

I start my day with almond milk in my coffee and I love snacking on almonds in any form: almond butter, raw, or flavored roasted almonds. I've always wanted to try baking with almond flour!

I love bananas with almond butter.. it's my post run go to snack. I also love making almond flour banana pancakes topped with almond butter (because who needs real butter when almond butter exists!)
I LOVE the smell of almond blossoms and their beauty when all the trees are in bloom. The scent is intoxicating! Fresh almonds, straight from a tree are the very best! Soft or hard shelled, doesn't matter, the sweet raw taste of the nut is wonderful! Candy coated, seasoned, baked, sliced, doesn't matter, I eat them any way!
I love using almonds in my yeasted breads and in my oatmeal!
I love to mix and ounce of salted almonds with 1/2 a serving of dried cranberries. It gets me through my cravings. Love it!

I slice almonds and have them on top of greek yogurt for breakfast.
I have them raw as a snack. Or if I have sliced almonds I love them on weetabix/oatmeal in the morning heated with bananas.

I use sliced almonds in my oatmeal, almond flour with spices as a tofu crust before baking, and love almond butter with an apple as a snack!

I know it sounds weird but I love peanut butter with almonds on it. It's my favourite snack, and can't get enough of it :)
