We love this Healthy Mummy Smoothie. It is packed full of goodness and taste and the extra special ingredient we are using in this recipe is walnuts.
Walnuts are made up of a whopping 72% monounsaturated fatty acids, and eating them regularly could reduce the amount of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your body, while increasing the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
Eating just 25g of walnuts per day will provide you with over 90% of your RDA of omega-3 fatty acids, and research has shown that a diet rich in these anti-inflammatory fatty acids could reduce your risk of a number of diseases, including high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, colon cancer, liver cancer and breast cancer.
DHA, a fatty acid found in walnuts, is also found to boost the growth of your baby’s brain during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding
