National Walnut Day equals all the healthy walnut recipes!! Walnuts have lots of health benefits but they are a calorie-dense food so how you incorporate them into your diet can be very important. Eatingwell.com has lots of delicious and healthy walnut recipes from breakfast to lunch to dinner and even dessert. Even enjoying them raw can be a great snack on the go.

It’s National Granola Bar Day and what better way to curb those junk food cravings but with some healthy snack bar recipes. “Grabbing an energy bar, protein bar, or even a “healthy” granola bar can keep you from going off the rails at the vending machine, or worse, steering your car into the nearest fast-food drive-thru.” One of my favorites are the Beachbody Beachbars that are a grab and go option, but if you are feeling adventurous, check out these 10 Protein Energy Bar Recipes in the link below. Made with all natural and wholesome ingredients, these snack bars will be sure to satisfy any sweet tooth as well as keep your nutrition on track.
