Almonds
Almonds are one of the most nutrient-dense nuts, rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy monounsaturated fats. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber, which together promote satiety. Research suggests that regular almond consumption may help lower LDL cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk.

Chia seeds are extraordinarily fiber-rich: 34g per 100g, with most of it soluble. They absorb up to 10× their weight in water, which slows digestion and supports satiety. They also deliver plant-based ALA omega-3s, calcium, and magnesium. Soak before eating for the best digestive tolerance.
