Ingredients

mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews) 1.5 oz
celery sticks 3 sticks

Method

Prepare the celery sticks. Wash the celery sticks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim off the ends and cut each stick into bite-sized pieces if desired.
Tip: Drying the celery well helps maintain its crispness.
Measure the mixed nuts. Using a kitchen scale, measure out 1.5 oz (about 42.6 grams) of mixed nuts consisting of almonds, walnuts, and cashews. This amount is slightly increased from the USDA base to meet the target protein and fat macros.
Tip: If you don't have a scale, roughly 1.5 oz is about a small handful.
Serve the snack. Place the measured mixed nuts in a small bowl or plate. Arrange the celery sticks alongside for a refreshing crunch. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: For added flavor, you can serve with a small amount of hummus or nut butter if desired.

Pro tips

Keep celery sticks fresh by storing them wrapped in damp paper towels inside a sealed container in the refrigerator.
To enhance the nut flavor, lightly toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, but be careful not to burn them.
