Why almonds?
Almonds are rich in fiber, protein and monounsaturated fatty acids. For this reason, the habitual consumption of this food contributes to reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.
They have an excellent mineral content and are abundant in vitamin E.
However, they are rich in lipids and this makes them a high-calorie and not too satiating food in the immediate future.
Why ricotta?
Ricotta is one of the best cheeses, at least from a nutritional point of view.
The lipid and caloric content is generally lower than mozzarella and contains very high quality proteins.
