Nuts in general are high in fiber, protein, and fat. Cashews are a great source of the relaxing mineral magnesium, copper contributes to healthy skin and hair, and zinc supports a healthy immune system. Almonds are a great source of antioxidants and may help lower cholesterol. They contain biotin (B7), vitamin E, and minerals like copper, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and more.

Za’atar is a zesty Middle Eastern spice mixture that adds a unique flavor to this mix. These are sure to become a new favorite snack.
