Drifting downstream on a rugged log we see a Just Peachy King Shake blowing in the wind as it sits atop a sandy beach.

Time to drop anchor and enjoy a little sweet treat make with foods from the Dairy Group. Particularly for a tiny 85 calories that taste more like 850 calories. Be sure to share with a handsome lumberjack.

Just Peachy King, a Diet Shake Recipe

1 Tablespoon of chopped English walnuts (about 50 calories per Tablespoon)

1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract or imitation vanilla

1/4 cup of crushed ice; sugar substitute if needed

Blend until light and frothy and then pour into chilled beverages containers. Adorn with a miniature paper umbrella embossed with penguins, if desired. For a hotter look drink while wearing sunglasses with dark lenses.

Weight Loss Tips, Low Calorie Recipe Suggestions & Nutrition Facts for English Walnuts

The walnut is a fantastic source for vegetable protein. Per ounce they contain 4.32 grams. We always hear about how impressive eggs are when it comes to protein, so how does that compare? One medium egg contains 5.53 protein grams - but it also contains 164 mg of cholesterol while the English Walnut contains zero cholesterol.

They make healthy additions to recipes. Walnuts can be tossed into tea and coffee cakes, into brownie recipes - and you'll want to skip any frosting while dieting. They can also take a plain boring salad to gourmet. Add a few chopped walnuts to your next salad and make it amazing.

The glazed varieties of English Walnuts at the market contain a few more calories but they can make a healthier treat for snack time over pastries and cakes when enjoyed in moderation.

They can even be dipped into a bit of dark chocolate - about one-half way up the nut for a sweet treat.

The next time that you eat a meal that contains a little more fat than you'd like, eat a couple of walnuts as they may add a bit of insurance for your artery health.

Walnuts also contain a healthy dose of Omega 3's and a one ounce serving will provide 1.9 dietary fiber grams, 125 mg of potassium, a bit of zinc, iron and calcium. They are naturally low in sugar content as well as sodium.

One of our favorite ways to enjoy the English Walnut is to toss a teaspoon or two into a bowl of brown sugar oatmeal. So delicious - and yes, very nutritious. Another perk?

The walnut and oatmeal combination are very powerful appetite fighters and keep us feeling very full and satisfied for several hours after we've eaten.
