Nuts and seeds are rammed full of dietary essentials add them into your diet, they can be hard to digest so mill them in the blender or grind them up in your single auger juicer so help your body get the best from them. Nuts contain protein, fibre, vitamin E and a good selection of minerals. They are potent and calorie rich though so you only need a few.

Nutty butters some or our juicers excel at making nut butters, the single auger machines are the best for this, namely the Matstone 6 in 1 and the Oscar Vitalmax

Nutty hint common sense this one but always buy non salted nuts, salt is everywhere in our diets, you needn't add any salt in the form of salty nuts, that's for sure!

Nuts and seeds go great in smoothies and mill into dust in a decent blender. Mill them up before you put the fruit and vegetable ingredients in so they are ultra easy for your body to use.

Nutty warning when you make a smoothy for someone, make sure the do not have a nut allergy! Take extra care when making drinks for children as they may be completely unaware of their allergies and intolerance.

Nut storage nuts are easy to store, you just need some screw top or lever seal containers, like any food they do need to be in air tight containers! They will then last 2-6 months quite easily, put a few grains of rice in with them to absorb moisture.

Seeds

Seeds again are natural powerhouses of nutrition we like linseeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp, sesame seeds and pine nuts which are the seed of the pine tree, expensive I know but great tasting and a fine source of vitamin E. We think the reason they are expensive is the cost of extracting them from such a spiky tree!

We think juicing and smoothy making is one of the best ways of getting a healthy diet and remember that nutrients can be fragile so keep it raw!
