Almonds are such a great snack for a low carb day or for an easy snack throughout the week. I love that they’re packed full of protein and healthy fats. Today I’m sharing a recipe for chewy and soft dark chocolate almond coconut cookies made with Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds. These cookies are a healthier snack option to bring along for errand running, or to enjoy at home on a busy evening.

 

 

Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds are available at your local Walmart in a variety of packaging options. While at Walmart, I picked up the 6 oz. can, 14 oz. bag and 100-calorie on the go packs. It’s wonderful that there are so many options available, which are great for baking, snacking or for a quick on the go snack you can pull out of your bag. I enjoy picking Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds up at Walmart while I’m there buying other items, or I’ll use their Online Grocery Pick Up service.

I enjoy baking these cookies for myself and my family, because they are made with Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds, which are an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium. Eating this delicious superfood offers myriad health benefits every day!

I enjoy them in a variety of ways, such as baking these healthier dark chocolate almond coconut cookies, enjoying a handful when I need something to tie me over until dinner or I can keep the Blue Diamond Whole Natural Almonds 100-calorie on the go packs in my bag for when I may need something easy and convenient to hold me over when I’m out and about.
