Two Easy Holiday Snacks

This snack is really simple and was always available at our home during the Christmas season. Sometimes only peanuts and raisins.
Here there is a variety of nuts that can be added, including cashew nuts as well. Then dried cranberries, with small white chocolate balls.
This will give that little bit of sweetness needed but doesn’t overwhelm the taste. Two different mixes in the below picture. Sweet and savory an easy family friendly treat or appetizer for the Christmas holidays.

Are peanuts and raisins healthy?

Nuts and dried fruit are healthful foods because of their nutrient profiles. They provide dietary fiber, potassium (K) and a variety of health protective bioactive compounds. Nuts are a source of protein and monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).

What happens if we eat raisins daily?

Raisins are rich in antioxidants such as phenols and polyphenols. There are studies that show that antioxidants stimulate fat breakdown, reduce calorie intake and increase the level of good bacteria in the gut that aids in digestion.

Studies also show that raisins can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing blood pressure and blood sugar. The fiber in the raisins work to lower the (LDL) bad cholesterol which reduces the strain on the heart.

How to
