How many nuts should you eat? 🤔

A healthy handful of nuts (about 30g) every day is recommended for good health.

Why 30g? Much of the research linking nuts to health benefits is based on this amount, and the Australian Dietary Guidelines define a serve of nuts as 30g.

What does 30g look like? A handful, ¼ cup or 2 tablespoons of nut butter.

What if you want more? Research shows that enjoying around two handfuls of nuts a day may help lower cholesterol levels - without affecting body weight.

Whether they`re part of your breakfast, tossed through a salad, added to a smoothie or stir-fry, or eaten straight from the packet, nuts are a simple, satisfying way to add more nutrition to your day. 🙌

Save to keep handy or share with a fellow nut lover. 😍

Dementia is one of Australia’s biggest health challenges.

While age is the greatest risk factor, growing evidence suggests that lifestyle - including what we eat - can play an important role in supporting brain health and reducing dementia risk. 🧠

In our newest episode of The Healthy Handful, we speak with Prof Catherine Itsiopoulos about the connection between diet, brain health and dementia prevention. 🎧

We unpack what the research tells us about healthy dietary patterns, the Mediterranean diet, and the role of foods including nuts, extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fish. 🌰🥦🫘

We hope you enjoy this evidence-based conversation, packed with practical insights for supporting brain health.

Homemade nut butter is easier than you think, especially as it requires only one ingredient! 🙌

Simply grab a food processer and your favourite nuts, and start blending.

Keep in mind that it may take 10-20 minutes for the nuts to release their natural oils and transform into a smooth, creamy nut butter. Don’t worry if it looks dry and powdery to start with – trust the process! 😎

Here are 7 delicious ways to enjoy your homemade nut butter:
• Stir it through your morning porridge
• Dip veggie sticks or sliced apple into it for an easy snack
• Add it to a chicken and salad wrap for a satay-inspired twist
• Stir it into curries or stir-fries for a rich, nutty flavour
• Blend it into your favourite smoothies
• Spoon it into the centre of a date for a nutritious snack on the go
• Add it to wet ingredients when baking biscuits and other sweet treats

Save this post for the next time you make a batch, and share it with a fellow nut butter lover. 😍
