Whats a Good Snack for Someone Allergic to Nuts?
What do you suggest as a healthy after-school snack for someone who is allergic to peanuts? – Sarah* Nuts are a good source of protein, but they’re also high in fat and not required for a healthy diet. More than 3 million Americans are allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, such as walnuts, almonds, and cashews, so you’re not alone. You have many healthy, non-nutty after-school snack options. Your best bet is to combine something tasty and healthy with your favorite fresh fruits and veggies.
