In all seriousness, if Chunky monkey had my chunky monkey crock pot Paleo trial mix, I think he’d would have to change his name lean machine monkey.
23
Cause this paleo trail mix is some MEGA fuel that will keep you energized and healthy.
24
Hint Hint.. you can add in almonds instead of cashews and cook your banana chips if desired. See recipe notes! It’s so delish!
