100 Calories of Nuts

So when I am talking to people and they ask for a healthy snack, I always say Nuts. The next question people ask is how many, and are they fattening? Well I did some research and found out how many are in a 100 calorie serving. Use this to make some healthy trail mix for yourself or for your kids. Almonds: 14 (whole unsalted) or Dry Roasted with salt Cashews: 10 (raw) Cashews: 9 (oil-roasted with salt) Hazelnuts: 10 (dried unsalted) Macadamias: 5 (raw) and dry salted Peanuts: 17 (raw) Peanuts: 16 (salted) Pecan halves: 10 (raw) Walnuts: 13 (raw) Pine Nuts: 77 Dried Pistachio Nuts: 29 (dried and Salted) So use this info to mix up a trail mix, just make sure to read the serving size when doing so. I have made one with Frank that includes plain Cheerios 1/3 cup, dried cranberries 1 TBSP, and almonds 6. We broke it up in little sandwich bags (about 2-3)Just try not to make any with chocolate, stick to dried fruit and nuts. Enjoy
