In the plant-based world, protein is often a key concern—and both beans and nuts step up to
the plate. But they’re not created equal. Understanding when and how to use each can elevate
your energy and nutrition.
Beans: The Lean and Filling Option
Beans (kidney beans, black beans, lentils, chickpeas) are:
●High in protein and complex carbs
●Rich in fiber, aiding in digestion and blood sugar balance
●Ideal for main meals like soups, stews, grain bowls, and wraps
They’re low in fat and help you feel full, making them a great base for hearty lunches or dinners.
Nuts: The Compact Energy Bombs
Nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts) provide:
●A dose of healthy fats that fuel your brain and body
●Protein to keep you satisfied
●Portability and convenience—perfect for snacking on-the-go
Nuts are higher in calories but more energy-dense. A small handful can give you a quick energy lift during the midday slump.
NutriNosh Advice:
Use beans in your meal prep and nuts in your snack stash. Balance is the key—and NutriNosh’s
snack packs offer both in smart portions so you don’t have to overthink your choices.
