Fats and Oils
posted in Nutrition by Helen @ 10:59 pm |
As in any healthy diet, choosing fats and oils that are unsaturated is always best. In the vegetarian diet these may inlcude the following:
- avocados
- olives
- nuts
- seeds
- peanut butter
- tahini
Including flaxseed oil in salads or smoothies is also a good choice for healthy fats, in particular omega 3 fatty acids which are important for healthy brain function.
