[Music] We're kicking off a year-long
series with the very talented chef
Stuart O'Keefe.
That's right each month he's
gonna be in the kitchen with a taste
of the Mediterranean.
Today, a refreshing
alternative to almond and soy milk.
Why not try one the tastiest drinks
around, this drink is a nice refreshing
change to your usual almond and soy milk
plus it's a healthy and natural plant-based alternative-- it's
walnut drink.
Welcome to In the Kitchen, I'm chef
Stuart okay let's talk about walnut
drink for a second I actually love this
stuff and I'm gonna show you some fun
little things that you can do to incorporate it into your daily
life.
First of all let's start over here with
this.
So this glass of Borges Natura has
the same benefits as eating five whole
walnuts I'm just going to take a quick
little taste, I absolutely love this stuff I
could drink it all day.
Now one cup provides omega-3 fatty acids
for heart health, it's low in saturated
fat to control cholesterol, and low in
salt and sodium for healthy blood
pressure.
And now when baking with Just
Walnut drink you want to substitute the
milk with walnut drink, it's that easy
just like these beautiful brownies that
I have here.
And don't forget Walnut Drink
in your coffee in the mornings you
need that to get your day started now
let's get to some of these smoothies.
Chocoholics I got you covered.
So right here a glass of Walnut Drink
with two dates, two spoons of sugar-free
cocoa powder, a spoonful of chia
seeds, and a handful of spinach all in this,
that's where you kind of get the green
affect here.
Now here's another beauty, a sweet thick
and tasty burst of pure energy to start
the day-- the ideal smoothie for those who
are on the go, I mean I'm on the go all
the time so this is perfect for me, I
made this at home with a glass of Just
Walnut milk, a medium sized banana,
eight strawberries, a cup of steamed beetroot--
I know that kind of sounds weird but
it tastes really good believe me-- a
teaspoon of sesame seeds, and a dash of
spirulina.
Now here's the thing, Borges Natura Just Rice and
Walnut drink is made from perfectly ripe
California walnuts combined with white rice
and water, here's what I like to do
with Walnut Drink.
There's a bit of alcohol in there, it
tastes good, you know a long day I think we
all deserve one, so what I have here
is I have a martini glass and what
I've done is I've got chocolate syrup and
drizzled it all inside the glass.
I have my trusty
cocktail shaker here, now I have some
creme de cacao, I've got one ounce of creme
de cacao.
You can do more if it's a harder day for you
can put in a bit more.
We have some
vanilla vodka, of course we have the
Walnut Drink-- star of the show-- and we are
just gonna give that a shake.
You want to get it nice and cold.
So I've got ice already in here I also love
to have this drink after like a dinner
or something that's like a dessert
cocktail it's really good too.
So I have some chocolate wafers in here
so I'm just gonna get a rolling pin and just roll
them and break them up really small and
what we're gonna do is kind of like a
margarita.
You're gonna dip the martini
glass into the chocolate syrup and then
we're gonna do, we're gonna dip it right
into the chocolate crumbs and it's as
simple as that.
Okay we've got our cocktail here so we're
gonna pour it into the glass'it looks amazing.
