things people ask

• How much does 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds weigh on a yogurt bowl?
  5.4 g per tablespoon. Two tablespoons over a single yogurt bowl gives you 10.8 g — about 65 calories of almonds, which is the typical breakfast-portion ballpark. If you're tracking macros, weigh once with the spoon you actually use; restaurant tablespoons run larger than measuring tablespoons and the gram count drifts up fast.
• How many tablespoons of sliced almonds go into a smoothie for texture without overpowering it?
  One to two tablespoons, so 5.4 g to 10.8 g. Sliced almonds blend smoother than whole because the surface area is already exposed, but more than 10 g per smoothie starts to dominate the flavour and pull moisture from the liquid. Toast first if you want the almond note to read clearly through banana or berries.
• Is a tablespoon of sliced almonds the right scale for decorating cookies?
  Usually yes — 5.4 g of sliced almonds covers roughly 6 to 8 thumbprint cookies or one row of biscotti. For pressing into the tops of shortbread or florentines, scale by tablespoon per dozen cookies. Whole almonds are the wrong form here because a single whole nut on a cookie weighs more than a full tablespoon of slices.
