OK, so almonds don't have a direct link to triathlons. However, the athlete's diet is always of great importance. And almonds are an excellent, healthy snack. Low in carbs, high in protein, and full of vitamins. Almonds are the healthiest nuts that you can eat.

I've become addicted to Ranch flavor Sunkist Almond Accents. I can eat most of the 5 ounce bag in one sitting (because I am insanely in love with the taste). I call that a square meal. I love to eat foods that are high in carbs, so I'm excited that I have become crazy about almonds.

Around here, they can be purchased at Publix and Bruno's in the produce section.
