Blue Diamond has a variety of honey flavored products, From flavored almonds, nut thins, & almond milk. Check their site to find where you can find them near you.
Did you know that Almonds are the only crop dependent on honey bees for the pollination of it’s crops?
Not only are they helping Blue Diamond’s almond crops but honey bees are also pollinating 1/3 of the world’s food supply. That is a lot of bees!
Blue Diamond has helped fund more than 70 projects focused on the health of bees, pollination, and colony health since 1976. Through this effort Blue Diamond has partnered with beekeepers and research institutions to find new ways to support honey bee health by addressing issues of nutrition, stock improvement, pest and disease management and the impact of pesticides.
It is pretty amazing such small creatures can help grow crops, trees, flowers, etc. Remember that movie Bees? Without honey bees our neighborhoods wouldn’t be so colorful & our food supply would go down.
I was excited when Blue Diamond sent me honey cinnamon & knew my friend would love the honey dijon.
Almonds are such a great snack for any time of the day. Not only are they tasty but they have great health benefits like reducing heart attack risk, building strong teeth & bones, have healthy fats, provide brain function, & much more.
So what did I do with these almonds?
I decided to make an
Apple Pie smoothie
1 apple , I used gala
1/4 cinnamon
5-8 Blue Diamond honey cinnamon almonds
1/2 Vanilla almond milk
small container of plain or vanilla greek yogurt
banana
Blend together , pour into mug, enjoy!
I had this for breakfast but it would be a great to have as a snack or dessert.
I got fancy and made a heart with cinnamon on mine.
Spinach Salad with chicken, feta, honey cinnamon almonds & fresh strawberry dressing.
This salad is perfect for Spring & Summer.
Baby spinach
Chicken
Feta, crumbled
Blue Diamond honey cinnamon almonds, I crushed them
Dressing:
about 6-7 strawberries tops removed

Blend dressing ingredients until smooth.
Grill chicken.
Place baby spinach top with cut up chicken, feta, crushed almonds. Top with dressing.

I found this recipe on Can You Stay For Dinner
My friend enjoyed the honey dijon almonds as a snack. He said they were full of bold flavor. These would be great in on a salad as well.
What are you favorite ways to use almonds?

Yum! Almonds are seriously SO good – I love them as a snack, but also love to incorporate them into foods!
Whenever apple is mentioned, I am all ears. But mentioning apple and cinnamon, now I am even more interested! I eat apple for health purpose while cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors of all time.
Oh that salad looks so delicious! I’d love the bite of the almonds in that, so tasty!
had no idea honey bees anything to do with the production of almonds. Love the recipe since I am not fond of apples would like to eat more.
Almonds enhance many meals from chicken salad to regular salads. I also love them in many dessert recipes too. Thanks for telling us about these new flavors.
I love almonds. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will need to try it.
Omg this salad looks absolutely delicious!!! I’m all about salads during the summer so I will have to pin this so I remember to try some almonds I my next salad 🙂
I have a tin of those almonds with me all the time! I keep them in my luggage too. The salad looks fabulous!
Apple Pie Smoothie reminds me of my childhood. I would always order that flavor from a smoothie shop here in our neighborhood called Surf City Squeeze. The salad looks delicious too! My hubby and I tend to have salads for dinner to offset our heavy lunch meals. Thanks for sharing this recipe, we’ll have to give it a try!
What an interesting combination I have not come across before! Delicious salad!
The combo worked very well together , I wasn’t sure at first but definitely will be one of my favorite salads from now on.
You will always find cans of Blue Diamond nuts in my pantry — we love them! The salad looks great too. I’ll have to look for the honey roasted cinnamon ones — haven’t seen those around.
Almonds are one of my favorite snacks and sometimes I use them in salads too. I’d love to try the honey dijon ones. Those sound so yummy!
Oh my, that salad looks super tasty! I’m a huge blue diamond fan (although ironically don’t like nut) especially their roasted almonds ❤
The almond would give the salad a different twist. The Apple Pie Smoothie Spinach Chicken salad with blue diamond almonds looks tasty and healthy.
An apple pie smoothie sounds good to me. And I love almonds any time, anywhere!
