Who is doing Veganuary? I have to say I'm not but I do want to continue to make changes to ensure I'm pursuing a sustainable diet, good for both my body and the environment. If you find the idea of following a vegan diet a bit too daunting or just want to make some positive dietary changes then I think this nice article written by 2 student dietitians in @cnmagazines is a great start! #sustainablefood #sustainablediets #trustadietitian #cnmagazine

Almonds from Avola Staying just 15 minutes away from Avola meant that we had a generous supply of these magnificent almonds for breakfast everyday. Unlike the normal variety of almonds, Avola almonds are bigger in size and comes in irregular shaped case. Avola is the home of famous almond sweets as the granita. We had some from the 124-year-old Caffè Sicilia in Noto, currently owned by fourth-generation family. It's a special place - a must visit! The almond milk was delicious to drink on its own, leaving small bits of nuts in it gave the milk an even richer, fuller flavour. Almonds are a great snack providing a good source of healthy, unsaturated fats (monounsaturated, such that is found in olive oil). In addition, almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E, manganese, and magnesium. Even though the nuts have healthy fats they are still energy dense - which means you still should stick to a portion size (a small handful) (Granita doesn't count! But should definitely be tried, several times!) #sicily #avola #almonds #granita #almondmilk

'Now when you pick a pawpaw Or a prickly pear And you prick a raw paw Next time beware!' ♫ A cactus fruit aka prickly pear aka tuna fruit! This is the first time I've tasted this fruit. It's somewhere between a melon and a papaya. You eat all the flesh and little pips. That's a lot of fibre! One small fruit provides 4g of fibre, 25% of your daily vitamin c recommendation and only 40kcals. I guess that's why Balu considered it a Bare Necessity 🤣 #sicily #italy #noto #fruit #tunafruit #cactus #pawpaw #pricklypear
