Walnut Spread
This nut butter is a great high protein snack, and all you need is a food processor to make it. Walnuts are a unique source of gamma tocopherol (vitamin E), a potent antioxidant which has been found to protect against heart disease. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, walnuts are also an excellent source of omega-3 in place of oily fish.
