I don't like walnuts that much. I eat peanuts almost every day. and I use slivered almonds in my salads, and sometimes in my oatmeal. And I've added 2 cashew nuts /day to my diet.
But after reading this article I'm going to buy some chopped walnuts. they might also be good in salads and oatmeal.

I love walnuts, and I put them in oatmeal, quick breads, salads, trail mix and more. I try to have a few handfuls a week. I watch the portions, because I could easily go overboard on them.then this showed up

I love walnuts! Here I can get them at 2.50 a pound. I use them as the protein in my salads if I have no beans. I process with dates and stuff for snack balls. Make 'snickers' type candy with oat flour, dates, cocoa and chocolate dipped. Nut rolls! Love them as dark chocolate clustersthen this showed up

I mostly just soak like a cup of dates to soften, drain (save water!) and add about 3/4 cup walnuts, couple Tbs flax, glob of peanut butter, couple Tbls cocoa, process well. See how sticky it is and add oats till it forms a good ball. I chill then make balls, or bars, then add some oat flour in a container and shake to coat them and keep in fridge

Protein is essential in any possible diet for humans. But this culture has been lead, yes lead, to think of just certain products, that are coming from animals, as protein food. Protein is not needed in the large quantities diets now emphasize. I have Vega protein powder on hand, but now I am hardly using it, mostly what I had for having it added is no longer available, there are few things for it now.
