Walnuts are rich in Omega 3 Fats! Walnuts reduce inflammation, decrease cholesterol, and even reduce the risk of cancer! (Plus they are so yummy!)

I was excited about trying this no-bake tart crust I saw on WHFoods.  The only two ingredients were dates and walnuts.

The only things to use are:

1 cup dates

2 cups of walnuts

Place in a food processor and blend until smooth.  Then press the dough in a tart dish or pie plate, and chill while you decide or assemble the filling! SO EASY!

This crust is perfect- As is but, we were thinking you could add a million other healthy ingredients and it would still taste good.  How about adding:

  • Coconut
  • Orange zest
  • wheat germ
  • oats
  • Dried apricots

STEP 1) The ingredients

Walnuts and dates

STEP 2) Blend it up

blended walnuts and dates

Step 3) Press in dish and chill

Step 4) assemble with fruit and pudding (or anything you want) and eat!
