Some snacks fill a craving. Others keep you going. Almonds do both.
Many Nutworks customers tell us they’ve made a simple switch: a small handful of almonds instead of a sugary bar or extra coffee. The result? Steadier energy, fewer crashes, and a snack that feels as good as it tastes.
The everyday power of almonds
Almonds are one of nature’s most balanced foods. They carry protein, good fats, and fibre, three nutrients that work together to keep energy levels steady.
With roughly 21 grams of protein per 100 grams, almonds are among the nuts with the highest proteins. They also supply magnesium, calcium, and vitamin E, helping muscles recover and the mind stay focused.
That balance of protein and healthy fat is what gives almonds staying power. It’s fuel that lasts through long meetings, school pickups, or weekend hikes.
How almonds compare
If you’re choosing snacks based on protein, here’s how a few favourites stack up:
| Nut | Protein (per 100g) | Why people love them |
| Almonds | 21–22g | Balanced nutrients and crunch |
| Pistachios | 20g | Lighter calorie profile |
| Peanuts* | 25–26g | High protein, though technically a legume |
| Cashews | 18g | Creamy and versatile |
| Walnuts | 15g | Great source of omega-3s |
*Peanuts aren’t true nuts, but often compared for protein content.
Almonds strike a middle ground: strong protein content, healthy fats, and a satisfying crunch that makes them easy to enjoy every day.
Freshness you can taste
At Nutworks Canada, freshness isn’t just a claim. Every almond order is packed after you place it, not months in advance. That means the natural oils stay fresh, and the flavour stays crisp.
You can even choose eco-friendly paper packaging at checkout. It’s one more way we cut down on plastic and keep quality high. All packaging and custom labels are made right here in Canada, supporting local manufacturing while protecting what’s inside.
Everyday ways to use almonds
Small changes make the biggest difference. Here are a few ways Canadians use almonds for steady energy:
- Add sliced almonds to morning oatmeal or yogurt.
- Keep a handful in your work bag or car.
- Blend almonds into smoothies for extra plant protein.
- Use almond flour in muffins or pancakes.
- Pair almonds with fruit for a quick snack that lasts.
Each one turns an ordinary moment into something that feels good and fuels better.
Questions we often hear
Q: Do you have organic almonds?
A: Yes. We have organic almonds that are certified through Ecocert, and our certificate is available to download on our website.
Q: Why can’t almonds be grown in Canada?
A: Our climate simply isn’t suitable for large-scale nut farming. We source from trusted growers abroad, then pack everything fresh in Canada.
Q: What’s the best way to store them?
A: Keep them in a cool, dry place. If you’ve chosen paper packaging, transfer them to a sealed glass jar to maintain freshness.
