Tuesday tips: NUTS

An oldie here, but oh such a favourite in our household. Candied nuts. Very quick and easy to make and fills up little bellies quickly (anyone else drowning in “I’m hungry every five minutes?). Nuts are excellent for growing children, they are full of good fats, high calorie, plus good amounts of fibre and protein. Try and include almonds, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and walnuts for a lovely whack of vitamin E, selenium, zinc and omega 3 fats (to name but a few) but to be honest any nut will do! Spread the nuts on baking proof paper, drizzle with honey or maple syrup (make sure each nut is fully coated but don’t go overboard) and bake in the oven for 15-20mins at 120 degrees. Leave to cool and voila 🤩An absolute treat for most children (and adults too!) 😉
