buddhi box yogaI recently hinted at a delicious spicy-sweet almond snack I made with local products in my Active in Austin post. My recipe for 5-minute Habanero BBQ Almonds is a great hunger-squashing snack that you absolutely must make for all your on-the-go summer activities. And, if one of your summer activities is YOGA — then check out the bottom of my post for a Buddhi Box giveaway!

5 minute Habanero BBQ Almonds make a healthy snack  -- protein, fiber and other important nutrients.

Not only is this snack super easy to make in the skillet in about 5 minutes, it’s packed with flavor and the satiating nutrition from almonds. Almonds are such a great snack for athletes and everyone — the are definitely the superfood they are cracked up to be!  This nutrient-dense nut is packed with good monounsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins such as riboflaven and trace minerals such as magnesium.

  1. I really came to enjoy doing planks. They were very hard for me at first but I’ve built so much strength over time and could start doing variations of planks with ease.

  2. my favorite yoga pose is warrior two. I feel like a powerful warrior in that pose.

  3. I love the challenge of crow pose! The first time I got it in class, I may or may not have cheered. 😉

  4. Awesome post! The box looks great, and I can’t wait to try that recipe! I’ve been trying to make everything from scratch and avoiding the store-bought stuff!
