Nuts: you can choose any nut variation you like. But make sure they are plain or only lightly salted. Stay away from flavored variations as they have added sugar. You can also roast your nuts for added flavor. Simply spread them on parchment paper and place in the oven at 320 degrees F. Roast for 5-15 minutes.

Tahini sauce: this is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce for sandwich spread instead of mayo (which is pure fat) or simply mixed with whole grains for added taste. You can make your own Tahini sauce, but if like us you are short on time, you can simply buy it from most grocery stores or online.
