The Healthy Handful

We'll talk about what's to love about nuts and how to incorporate them into just about anything, from morning smoothies, to nut butters to coating your chicken or fish at dinner. We even discuss how to get creative with nuts and use them to make Christmas wreaths and to decorate your Christmas tree (that's assuming you haven't eaten them all first).

About this episode

The trend towards plant-based eating shows no sign of abating. In fact, a recent review of trends found that 56 per cent of us across the globe are trying to eat more plant-based foods.

Nuts for Life commissioned Nutrition Research Australia to scope the published science on the effect of plant and nut protein on human and planetary health.

In this episode, Flavia takes a deep dive into this research to explain the health benefits of plant-based protein, and uncovers some new insights into the unique contribution of nut protein to health.
