When using treats as a reward system, you want the reward to be the size of half a sunflower seed or less. Is there anything in his current diet that he really enjoys? At least 2-3 items? If yes, you could remove those from his diet and use as foraging rewards or training rewards.
You might also try other *easy* foraging ideas or make the ideas you've already tried even easier. Heck, an easy one is to get some grass (some people use the fake stuff!) and sprinkle it with dry food... or something to that effect. Don't give up, just keep trying!
Dollar tree has the crinkle paper. Paper version of easter grass. Just a small amount to start & you could build into more a s you go.
You may want to look @Unapproved Vendor's Dailies shop. Marsha is great & can help you find healthier alternatives to Milo's diet. Maybe dried sprouts could help. I just started sprouting & am pleasantly surprised. Buddy is seemingly getting a taste for them. I don't know if you can sprout a walnut, but Marsha would know. It would be so much more healthy compared to a dormant nut.
Does Milo like corn? Buddy likes dried corn, I've always called it birdy crack. I sprouted popcorn & he liked the seed & I liked the root part. Fun interactive way to eat together & encourage the spouts.
