Have you ever heard of Monkey Salad before? It’s a cute name for a fun fruit-and-nut salad that contains bananas.
We just saw the Curious George movie recently, so I have bananas on my mind. :-)
This makes a great snack or dessert when your sweet tooth is strong. Kids really love it too! The best part is that you can customize it to suit whatever you have on hand or individual allergies.
Swap out the nuts, change the fruits, experiment with different nut or seed butters … it’s all good (and delicious!).
Monkey Salad
1 banana, sliced
½ cup of berries or sliced apple
¼ cup cashews, pecans, walnuts or almonds
1 tbsp almond or other nut butter
(optional) 2 tbsp coconut flakes
(optional) Sprinkling of sea salt
(optional) Drizzle of honey
Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and enjoy!
In good health,
