A handful of peanuts provides a quick-and-easy protein boost. Nutty for peanut butter? It’s a great source of monounsaturated fat, which can help lower cholesterol levels. Skip the low-fat varieties that remove much of this good fat, and opt instead for brands with just two ingredients: nuts and salt.
