Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn joined sports dietitian Vicki Ma from Australian Almonds to put together a tasty granola snack that has a number of health benefits for athletes and weekend warriors.

Gawn is an Australia Almonds ambassador and has proven to be not only good with his hands on the footy field but also equally as good in the kitchen.

Joining Gawn as ambassadors of the campaign with Australian Almonds are Brianna Davey, Ellie Blackburn, Liam Picken and Scott Selwood, who have launched an award to encourage Australians to shine a light on the ‘Hard Nut’ in their life, as part of the organisations’ Australian Hard Nut Awards.

From those who have dedicated their life volunteering at the local footy club, to players overcoming lengthy and challenging injuries, the Awards aim to profile those otherwise not recognised on a national scale.

For your chance to win up to 10 kgs of almonds and two limited edition AFLPA white Sherrin footballs, enter here!

Along with the prizes up for grabs, the ambassadors will take the opportunity to nominate a ‘Hard Nut’ in their lives, and roast a teammate.
