From various products of almonds like almond
milk and butter one can draw good amounts of calories.  I regularly eat either a stick of celery or apple slices with almond butter for a healthy snack. This valuable nut
contains great quality of Omega 6 fatty acids, which have an extensive range of
fitness benefits. 
Overall almonds are considered as an absolute
powerhouse in providing a great range of nutrients and maintaining healthy
