Ingredients
- medium orange 1 piece
- raw almonds 1 oz
Method
-
Prepare the orange.
Wash the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a knife, carefully peel the orange by cutting off the skin and white pith, or simply peel it by hand. Separate the orange into individual segments, removing any seeds if present.
Tip: Peeling the orange over a bowl will catch any juice that drips, which you can enjoy as a refreshing drink. -
Measure the almonds.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 1 ounce (28.4 grams) of raw almonds. If you don't have a scale, a small handful typically approximates this amount.
Tip: Raw almonds can be eaten as is or lightly toasted for extra flavor. -
Serve and enjoy.
Place the peeled orange segments on a plate or bowl and serve alongside the measured raw almonds. Enjoy this nutritious snack immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tip: Pair this snack with a glass of water or your favorite herbal tea for a complete mini-meal.
Pro tips
- For a different texture, try lightly toasting the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn them.
- If you prefer, you can chop the almonds and sprinkle them over the orange segments for easier eating.
