Nutritionist notes: Almonds are one of the nuts with the highest protein content. Almond meal is simply finely ground almonds. Make sure the ones you buy have no added ingredients. It is recommended to use plant-based protein powder. Use recipes like this from this stage to start practicing your new cheweing habits (aim to chew every bite at least 25 times).
