To my shock and horror I discovered corn syrups and other sugars added to jars of peanuts.
I usually by peanuts in the shell, but I don’t eat peanuts that often. I typically stick with more exotic nuts like macadamias, almonds, pistachios, pecans, cashews–because I’m so fancy.

I love when celebrities talk nutrition!Click here, or here to watch Ellen’s video diaries as she shares what it’s like to be without the white stuff.

If you don’t have time to make the hummus yourself, buy it pre-made. I would rather have this high-protein snack on hand than not at all.
