Im allergic to any and all types of nuts I developed that allergy when I was pregnant with my 8 month old. Is there another thing I can add to trail mixes, etc to get that protien, healthy fats that nuts provide. I use to eat them for an afternoon snack to get me that extra energy to make it through the afternoon. thanks for any and all advice.

    Try some roasted soy beans. They are crunchy, add protien and are not in the nut category. Check with your doctor to make sure that they are okay to use. Good luck!

    Soy may not be in the nut category but you may be allergic to legumes which are found in both nuts and soybeans.

    This is why I would recommend anyone with allergies to check with their doctor first. Many Whole Food stores and specialty stores carry roasted peas, chick peas and even dried zucchini, and sweet potato slices which give that crunch value.
