Why it earns a spot in the rotation
- ~7 mg of vitamin E. The next-best meal here manages ~3 mg, and almonds are one of the few foods that carry it in quantity.
- 6 g of fibre and 16 g of fat together, which is what keeps a 270-kcal snack from behaving like fruit alone.
- ~4 mg of quercetin, most of it in the apple skin — so this is a snack that is worth not peeling.
- Two ingredients, no preparation, and it travels in a bag. Almost nothing else here works at a desk with no plate.
