What are some good high protein nuts?

Answer by  Shannie (88)

All nuts are a source of protein - I would recommend almonds and stay away from salted or chocolate covered nuts. Peanuts and pistachios are also excellent to snack on.

While nuts get a bad wrap for being high in fat, nuts are actually very good for you and play an important part in a balanced diet. Surprise, peanuts (out of the shell) actually top the list as the highest in protein,. Almonds follow next and then cashews. Brazil and hazelnuts are the same in value and are next.
