Summer is the perfect time to indulge in some healthier treats, using nuts to boost the nutritional value of your snack.

Try these summer treats:

Nothing says summer like ice-cream dripping down to your elbows! Make your sweet treat a little ‘nicer’ with our delicious nice-cream pops. Use a mix of nuts to coat these, as eating a variety is the best way to gain all the health benefits of eating nuts.

Other cool treats not to be missed is these oh-so-good creamy macadamia maple popsicles and nutty banana pops, delicious straight from the freezer.

Keep your barbeque firing after lunch to whip up some delicious grilled bananas with macadamias and yoghurt. Crunchy macadamias pair perfectly with the sweet, hot bananas, both for taste, and to help boost your potassium levels.

When it’s too hot to even consider cooking, a nutty banana smoothie or nutty cacao smoothie make easy and nutritious snack options. These quick recipes include a either a handful of cashews, or cashew butter, respectively, which is a tasty meat-free way to get more iron in your diet.
