#wellnesscracked ginger and walnut muffins


Put your hands up if you looooove walnuts! *puts hands up*.
The other week I was very kindly asked to be a part of California Walnuts new campaign- 'California Walnuts. California Reset'. This campaign aims to showcase the many health benefits of this so-called super nut, as well as showcase it's versatility as not only a healthy snack but also an awesome addition to cooking.

Did you know they are packed with plant-based Omega-3's? Well you do now! Here are 7 other reasons as to why walnuts = wellness-

  Helps keep your heart healthy
