Nut Butter

Whether you're a classic peanut butter person or prefer almond, cashew, etc., nut butter is a great source of "good" fats (monosaturated and polyunsaturated), which have a range of health benefits. It's also high in protein, which will help you feel full and satisfied. Spread it on wholegrain crackers, or enjoy it as a dip with fresh sliced vegetables or fruits.
