California Walnut Power Balls: Healthier Treats. Hello friends. Fancy making some of these California Walnut Power Balls?
Also, healthier snacking treat. Great for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack. Of course, so yummy too!
Walnuts are the only nut to contain significant amounts of the plant-based essential omega-3 ALA (2.5g/30g). A handful of walnuts (30g) offers 2.5g of plant-based essential omega-3 ALA, 2g of fibre, 4.6g of protein and ‘good’ polyunsaturated fats.
Also a great way to add more protein to your diet and perfect after a gym workout. These power balls have just 4 healthy ingredients and only take about 10 minutes to make. So easy to make too.
