13 Nutrisystem Foods You’ll Go Nuts For
Article posted in: Nutrisystem
Peanuts, almonds, walnuts and other kinds of nuts are powerful little packets of nutrition, so they can be a tasty part of your weight loss menu. They have protein and healthy fats to fuel you up and keep you feeling full for hours. We love nuts because they satisfy cravings for salty flavors and crunchy textures.
Nuts are easy to eat right out of your hand, but they are so versatile that they fit into many other dishes, amping up the taste, nutrition and pleasure of eating them. Here are a lucky 13 ways to enjoy nuts on Nutrisystem while you’re shedding excess pounds.
1. Peanut Butter Oat Bar
Granola bars are handy when you need a quick, no-mess breakfast. Unfortunately, many granola bars you find in supermarkets aren’t the best option for weight loss. Our Peanut Butter Oat Bar has everything you love about granola bars, including peanuts and crispy rice. It’s coated in real peanut butter, giving it a creamy outside and crunchy inside. You can enjoy this bar without worrying that you’ll derail progress to your weight loss goal.
2. Biscotti Bites
Biscotti are crispy cookies that are ideal for dunking in coffee or tea, though dunking isn’t required to enjoy them. We make these biscotti bites with almonds and pistachios, so they’re extra crunchy and lightly salty, but also sweet. Because these Biscotti Bites start with fiber-rich whole grain flour, they’ll keep your appetite satisfied.
3. Harvest Nut Oat Bar
Trail mix is a blend of nuts, dried fruit and other ingredients that makes a fun and nutritious snack to have when you’re hiking or doing any other kind of outdoor activity. We’ve turned it into a convenient and filling breakfast bar. It is loaded with peanuts and almonds for protein and crunch, along with the sweet and tart flavors of raisins and dried cranberries. You can slip this Harvest Nut Oat Bar into a backpack, work bag or pocket and take it wherever your morning goes.
4. Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
Imagine a snack with the sweet goodness of a candy bar and the nutrition of a protein bar. Here it is! A base layer of dry roasted peanuts and sweet crispies are topped with a creamy layer of peanut butter. Then the whole bar is coated in milk chocolate. We call this Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar a smart lunch, but you might think of it as treat you can feel good about eating.
5. Spicy Kung Pao Noodles
Why order takeout food when you can just pull out these flavorful Spicy Kung Pao Noodles and have them ready to eat in minutes? The tender, whole wheat noodles are coated in a lightly spicy sauce flavored with garlic, shallots and chili peppers. They’re finished with green onions and a sprinkle of crunchy peanuts, just the way they make it at your favorite restaurant.
6. Chewy Trail Mix Bar
To get 12 grams of energizing protein, you can eat two eggs, a half-cup of Greek yogurt or this Chewy Trail Mix Bar. It features lightly salted cashews, almonds and peanuts sweetened with raisins and a layer of creamy milk chocolate. It’s a handy choice on those days when your lunchtime is as busy as the rest of your day.
7. Dark Chocolaty Sea Salt Nut Square
The bittersweet flavor of dark chocolate seems to come to life when you add a little spark of salt. We bring them together in a tasty Dark Chocolaty Sea Salt Nut Square that’s made with sea salt-dusted peanuts, almonds and walnuts, all dipped in and drizzled with rich chocolate. It’s the ideal snack when you’re craving chocolate and nothing else will do.
8. Peanut Butter Cookie
Whether you’re having a bad day, a good day, or a so-so day, a cookie just makes it a better day. This Peanut Butter Cookie has the sweet and salty taste of peanut butter baked right into it. It’s a chewy cookie, so your taste buds can savor the flavor as you eat it. And because it’s from Nutrisystem, you can be sure it’s a smart choice when you’re losing weight
9. Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Walnuts are the ingredient that takes good chocolate chip cookies to the next level. We make these Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies with real butter and eggs, brown sugar, and sweet chocolate chips. Then we add walnuts for crisp and salty contrast. They’re the perfect partner for a glass of cold, fat-free milk when you’re ready for a sweet and simple snack.
10. Chewy Peanut Bar
The combo of peanuts and chocolate are the foundation of America’s most popular candy bars, so we took them and made a satisfying alternative that fits right into your weight loss plan. In our Chewy Peanut Bar, a chewy peanut center is surrounded by sweet, creamy chocolate. It’s the taste you crave and the dessert you deserve.
