Fearne Cotton Instagram – #AD Strawberry, California Walnut & Date Smoothie 🍓
I love starting my day with a smoothie, and this recipe from @walnuts_UK we filmed a few week’s ago is absolutely delicious! Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a significant amount of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is great if you’re plant-based like me.
A handful of walnuts also contains a variety of nutrients including protein and fibre and are good for your brain, heart and gut health, so they’re a great nut to include in your recipes. I particularly like using walnuts grown in California because they’re milder and creamier in taste thanks to the fertile soils and warm climate.
Pro tip: Store them in the fridge to keep them fresher for longer.
If you want to try this recipe for yourself, I’ve popped it below, but head over to California Walnuts for even more inspiration!
