Got a bit of a spare tyre you’d like to tighten up? Never fear—Australian Peanuts have got your back! While some folks think peanuts are all about the calories, the truth is they can be a real asset if you’re watching your waistline. Here’s how to make the most of peanuts when you’re keen to trim down without missing out on taste.
Keep Cravings at Bay
Peanuts, especially the Kingaroy Peanuts, are loaded with protein and healthy fats that’ll keep you satisfied way longer than a bag of chippies. This means fewer midnight fridge raids and more willpower to stick to your goals.
Portion Smarts
Sure, peanuts can be calorie-dense—but in moderation, they’re brilliant. A small handful (about 30 grams) of Flavoured Nuts is the perfect size for a midday snack. Pop them in a mini container, and you’re all set for an arvo pick-me-up.
