Nuts/7 recipes

This recipe is ideal for any get together but maybe bear it in mind for your New Year’s Eve party, easy to make and so healthy too – just in time for those resolutions! Cashews may be small but they have huge benefits. Studies have shown that eating a fistful of nuts may reduce the risk of heart disease, cashews contain powerful antioxidants called Lutein and Zeaxanthin which are absorbed directly by our retina and help prevent age related macular degeneration, they are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, they have a great percentage of dietary fibres and have many more positives. We know one New Year’s resolution you’re going to make!

This is a really simple recipe to make and all the prep and cooking can be done in under half an hour, so there really is no excuse not to give it a go. They will last for up to 7 days, if stored in an airtight container, so are perfect to make in batches and snack on throughout the week.

It’s almost Mother’s Day and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate with your mum than by making her this delicious and nutritious box of loveliness. There’s no better way of showing someone you care than putting the time in to make them something and this delightful chocolate box not only looks fantastic – it tastes it too. We’ve topped ours with: sea buckthorn powder, blueberry powder, ground almonds and sesame seeds but the possibilities here are endless, you could use any type of nuts, seeds, cacao powder, coconut…….

Not only is this recipe super easy to make – it’s delicious and nutritious too. You can top with a selection of nuts, honey (or more maple syrup) and we’ve also added a sprinkle of blueberry powder.

This delicious, healthy and nutritious, no-bake caramel shortcake recipe is one of our favourite snacks. You’ll need a food processor to make it but it’s a really easy, non-fuss recipe that is sure to impress. To make the base we’ve used almonds but other nuts that would also taste great as a substitute are: walnuts, pecans, cashew nuts or pistachios.
