Ingredients You Will Need

Roasted cashews: are cooked using dry heat to enhance flavor and crunch. I like the organic nuts from Thrive Market.

Roasted Macadamia nuts: are rich, buttery nuts derived from the macadamia tree, prized for their creamy texture and flavor.

Toasted coconut flakes: are thin, dried shavings of coconut meat that have been browned to achieve a crisp texture and golden color.

Dried cranberries: are the perfect additions to salads to add a delicious burst of sweet, tart and tang all at once.

Chocolate chips: have a higher cocoa content with a more intense flavor than milk chocolate. Opt for dairy-free and refined sugar-free to keep this recipe Paleo friendly.
