Nuts are an important part of a balanced diet, especially if you’re vegan. But what’s the main reason for this? Well, first of all, they’re full of plant-based protein, and secondly they also contain other crucial nutrients such as omega-3 and other healthy fatty acids. Here are some simple techniques for eating more nuts on a daily basis.
Trail Mix
A great way to enjoy a range of nuts is to create your own trail mix. You can make this out of your own selection of your favorite nuts. Mix them together with raisins, dried apricots, and seeds. You can eat this how and when you want.
Sprinkle onto Curries
If you aren’t much of a fan of nuts but you know you want to eat more of them, try sprinkling them onto tasty curries. It’s best if you crush them up first. They add a nice texture to the curry, but their flavors blend into the rest of the dish as well.
In Salads
If you’re having a refreshing salad, pop a few hazelnuts or pecans into the mix. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed!
Sprinkle onto Pasta
You can also crush nuts up and sprinkle them onto pasta dishes. They’re best in creamy dishes, but you can also use them in tomato-based sauces.
