Easy Ways to Add Walnuts to Your Day

You don’t need a special recipe to start eating more walnuts.

Try adding a small handful to:

• Oatmeal
• Plain yogurt
• Fresh fruit
• Salads
• Whole-grain cereal
• Smoothies
• Homemade muffins
• Vegetable dishes

You can also simply enjoy them as a snack.

For the best overall diet, think about what you’re adding walnuts to. Pairing them with fruit, whole grains, vegetables, or yogurt can create a more balanced meal or snack.

And remember: walnuts are nutritious, but more isn’t necessarily better.

A modest portion can go a long way.

If you’re watching your calorie intake, portion them out instead of eating directly from a large bag. And if you have a nut allergy, walnuts should obviously be avoided.

The takeaway

Walnuts aren’t a miracle food, and they don’t “clean” your blood or cure disease.

But they are a nutrient-rich food that can fit very nicely into a balanced eating pattern.

Sometimes, improving your diet isn’t about finding an exotic ingredient.

It’s about noticing the simple foods that were already there.
