Paleo Nut and Berry Crunch

This Paleo Nut and Berry Crunch will change your way of looking at brunch. It is a phenomenally sweet, crunchy and satisfying side dish to serve your friends and family on a fun Sunday brunch. But who are we kidding…you can really have this berry crunch anytime. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll have it as a late night snack…you know…just at that time of day when the crazy cravings come. Don’t you just hate those?

Good news is, you can crash those cravings with a heart-healthy berry crunch bowl! Indulge in this raw, full-of-goodness treat…it is so good for you. Berries provide wonderful antioxidants that help you fight against free radicals and give you lots of vitamins your body needs so much.

I made this recipe for a baby shower I hosted and also to take to a Super Bowl party. It turned out to be super “versatile” as everyone, in both parties, loved this dish. Give it a try; I am sure you’ll love it.

1. Place strawberries in a bowl, add lemon juice and refrigerate overnight.
2. Mix in blueberries, raspberries and 2 tbsp maple syrup to the bowl containing the strawberries, and refrigerate while you prepare the rest.
3. Add slivered almonds, walnuts, pecans, sea salt, cinnamon and 3 tbsp maple syrup to a food processor, and pulse until nuts have broken down a bit.

Notes

1. Disclaimer: the photos in this post contain gluten free rolled oats instead of slivered almonds, which would make the recipe non-Paleo. My recipe calls for unbleached slivered almonds, instead of gluten free oats, making it 100% Paleo approved.
