Nuts have gotten a bad rap for being too high in fat, but the truth about them is that nuts, especially walnuts, are a powerhouse of nutrition. 

Helps you lose weight

• Contrary to what people believe, walnuts are actually good for weight management since an ounce of walnut contains 2.5g of omega 3 fats, 4g of protein and 2g of fibre that help provide satiety. Any successful weight management plan must include the satiety factor; so walnut is undoubtedly the right food to consider if you are into a weight management programme. Despite being ‘dense in calories, walnuts can be an important tool in helping you lose weight.  Here are some other food options that can help you lose weight.

Coffee & walnut cake overnight oatmeal parfait

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 shot of espresso
- 2tsp muscovado sugar, if desired
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

For serving:
- vanilla soya yoghurt
- 1 small-ish banana, sliced
- maple syrup or other syrup of choice (I used coconut nectar)
- a few walnut pieces and chocolate drops for decoration

Combine the oats, almond milk, espresso, and chopped walnuts and leave to soak overnight. My coffee was quite strong so I added some muscovado sugar, but this may not even have been necessary in the end.

Once soaked, spoon the oatmeal into a large glass, carefully layering it with the yoghurt, sliced banana, and drizzles of syrup inbetween. Top with a few banana slices, walnut pieces, chocolate drops and some more syrup and devour with a long-handled spoon. :)

For a less sweet version, omit the muscovado sugar, and use plain soya yoghurt (mixed with vanilla extract if desired) instead of the vanilla soya yoghurt.
