Baked apples are chock full of vitamins and nutrients – plus, they’re delicious!
Excellent source of vitamin E from walnuts. Walnuts are a rich source of monounsaturated fat, protein, fiber, calcium, phosphorous and vitamin E. Consuming walnuts increases satiety while also aiding in improved weight control. This is important for those trying to decrease cross addictions with sugar/fat/salty foods during the recovery process. An added plus for those in recovery is that walnuts are neuro-protective compounds which boost brain health, including vitamin E, folate, melatonin, omega-3 fats and other antioxidants.
