What is National Almond Day

These days, there’s a day for everything and I’m so glad there is one for the awesome almond.  National Almond Day recognizes this wonderful nut because of how amazing they are:

• They contain vitamins, minerals, protein, and good fat.
• Great for skin – who doesn’t want beautiful skin?
• Almonds can help control your blood sugar levels.
• The Magnesium in almonds can help with blood pressure.
• Almonds have antioxidants so they can help us stay younger looking.

That’s right!  According to webmd.com these are just some of the wonderful things about the almond.

Ways to celebrate the Almond on National Almond Day

Because it’s National Almond Day, I wanted to give you some ideas how to enjoy this awesome superfood:

1. Eat them raw – this probably is the best way.  You get all the nutrients, vitamins, mineral and protein – along with the good fats.  They are so healthy for you.

   

    

2. Enjoy some almond milk.  Almond milk doesn’t have a ton of protein but it’s still delicious.  Pour yourself a glass today.

   

3. Sit under an almond tree and enjoy the outdoors!

   

4. Eat chocolate covered almonds – Yum!

   

    

5. Give yourself a pedicure with your Nutt So Ruff scrub bar – enjoy your ‘at home spa’ and your soft feet!

   

Why Nutt So Ruff loves almonds

Obviously, we at Nutt So Ruff, love almonds because we used the ground and powdered nut in our skin exfoliators.  They are rich in vitamin E, which helps to moisturize the skin so that’s why we think they’re the perfect ingredient for our natural scrub bars.  Order your Nutt So Ruff scrub bar today – it’s National Almond Day!
