Recipe: Monkey Salad

July 12, 2015 By Vanessa 5 Comments

Monkey salad is my favorite breakfast recipe that doesn’t require much prep work or cooking. I call this my healthy cereal, minus the sugar and preservatives. If you’re doing Whole30 or following a gluten free or paleo diet, this is compliant. Just make sure the almond butter follows the rules.The cashews and almond butter make this salad filling enough that it’ll tide you over until lunchtime. You can switch out the blueberries for just about any berry and experiment with different nuts. Strawberries, raspberries and walnuts are also yummy! I’ve also left out the berries and added in coconut flakes instead, a delicious variation. Monkey salad is very versatile and the perfect on the go breakfast!

I look forward to crafting with you!

    LOVED this!!! I’m doing Whole 30, and this was perfect!! I added in 2 TBS of coconut milk so it wouldn’t be as dry, and I used frozen blueberries – OMG! This was amazing. Thank you!
