A good heart\u2014both literally and metaphorically\u2014is the key to a healthy life. If you\u2019re someone who does plenty of sport, avoids taking the metro and walks whenever possible, you\u2019ll know that olive oil is a great ally for keeping that all-too-often forgotten muscle ticking over nicely.<\/p>\n
Take note of these tips: your heart will thank you for it.<\/p>\n
1- Swap toast and butter for bread drizzled with olive oil at breakfast.<\/p>\n
2- Add olive oil to your smoothies and blow people away with an explosion of flavours.<\/p>\n
3- Get creative with desserts! Bread with chocolate and olive oil is always a winner with kids and grownups of all ages.<\/p>\n
4- If you\u2019re feeling really creative, try out some spherifications (a cooking technique popularised by Ferran Adri\u00e0 which coats food in a gelatine sphere that explodes in the mouth): they\u2019re easy to make and work wonders with any dish.<\/p>\n
5- Use olive oil for frying and say goodbye to butter: batter made with olive oil makes mouthwatering croquettes.<\/p>\n
6- Drizzle fruit in olive oil and show the world you don\u2019t need fat and calories to conjure up a knockout dessert.<\/p>\n
7- Make an original vinaigrette! Mix olive oil with honey, soya sauce, lemon juice or mixed herbs or spices and you\u2019ll have a delicious salad dressing.<\/p>\n
8- Bring out the flavour in your veg: steam and then finish off with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch (don\u2019t overdo it) of herbs or spices on top.<\/p>\n
9- Bowl over your friends with some homemade extra-virgin olive oil ice cream. You\u2019ll have the trendiest freezer on the block.<\/p>\n
10- Sandwiches are always best with olive oil, one of the wonders of nature. Drizzle it over bread and your heart (and taste buds) will thank you for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
