Zen Monkey

ZenMonkey = easy, healthy breakfast.
I found out about them a few weeks ago when samples were being passed out at a fitness event. I’ve been mixing cereal, yogurt, and fruit together for ages and was pleasantly surprised to find out that ZenMonkey has made it a «thing.» They soak oats in apple juice and combine it with plain yogurt and fruit… who can say no to that?
I’ve had all three flavors and Blueberry is definitely the best. It’s got tons of plump, juicy berries in there, while the fruit is quite a bit skimpier in the Strawberry and Apple-​Cinnamon varieties. The fruit is the best part!
It’s way too expensive given the fact that I can do the same thing at home for maybe 75 cents. But they’re a local vendor with a tasty product so I’m a bit more willing to shell out a couple extra bucks for one of their Blueberry flavors.

Yum. I’m becoming somewhat addicted. It’s the only thing I crave fro breakfast now, and so glad Whole Foods is across the street. It’s a simple grab and go breakfast, but works for that late afternoon snack attack as well.

WOW! I love this oatmeal, yogurt and fruit breakfast. I tried it for the first time recently on a trip to LA. I didn’t have time to make breakfast and it was perfect. It’s great for my young kids too since we are always on the go. We need some up here in San Francisco. Hope to find them in Whole Foods near us soon.

This is the real deal. Best breakfast you can ask for!
Strawberry flavor is my utmost favorite. Can’t wait to be able to buy Zen Monkey at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s!

amazing and delish breakfast option! I love that it is not only so flavorful and tasty, but full of unprocessed yumminess.
I am with everyone else, you should open up a brick and mortar shop where I can come pig out all the time. Can’t wait to see your product on the shelves at WHOLE FOODS! YAYYY!

Zen Monkey’s Yogurt-​Oatmeal combo is a great healthy option for breakfast. They are regulars at the Americana’s weekly farmer’s market and every since I have tried their products I’ve been hooked. Every week I’m there to pick up my weeks supply, which I have every morning for breakfast. Zen Monkey’s Yogurt-​Oatmeal is pretty much that… oatmeal mixed with greek yogurt and fresh fruit. It comes in 3 flavors: Strawberry, Blueberry and Apple-​Cinnamon. I’ve had all 3 and they are all good. I have a slight perference for Strawberry and Blueberry but that is mostly because they’re my favorite kinds of fruit.
I hear they will be coming out with more flavors in the near future and I look forward to trying them!

Zen Monkey is the best breakfast ever! I go to get it at farmer’s markets and even have my co-​worker pick some up for me. It would be great to have their products in grocery stores so everyone can enjoy them. Apple Cinnamon is the best!

I’m in love with your products. I used to never eat breakfast and rush out the door. That was before Zen Monkey. It’s delicious and a quick meal. I don’t get hungry and it sits really well with me. It fits in perfectly with my busy schedule.
My only issue is your distribution. I wish it was more convenient to get my hands on it easily instead of the treasure hunt that I must embark on.

I have fallen in love with Zen Monkey breakfast ever since the first time I tried it at the pershing square farmers market. I have been looking all over for more but couldnt find any. i decided to go back to the farmers market today to pick some up for the week. Its just way too good!

I’ve been getting these at the Century City farmers market for the last few weeks. Really awesome breakfast! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a quick/​tasty/​nutritional way to start the day. keep up the good work Zen Monkey!

Dearest Zen Monkey creator/​owner/​marketing department,
Please implement this to be on as many shelves as you can. Or open a brick and mortar shop so that I may stop by anytime. Preferably in downtown LA. Thank you.
I love, love, love their yogurt/​oatmeal! I stumbled across this while in Century city’s farmer’s market (every thursday til 2!) and was handed a sample. I went to my car with my HGD companion and came back (had to change out of heels and suit) and went right back to buy me a blueberry zen monkey. The only thing I regret is not buying more for on the go. Guess I gotta trek back!

I have a Zen Monkey almost every other day for breakfast. It satisfies my sweet tooth, gives me energy and keeps me full. The nutrition facts are simple and easy to read. This is some good stuff for all the health nuts out there!

This is a fantastic breakfast fix for those on the go looking for a healthy, nutritious, and quick bite to eat. Not to say you can’t have it as a mid day snack/​meal, but I prefer it for breakfast. The oats soaked overnight in apple juice are never cooked, so they maintain their nutritional value. Adding the non-​fat probiotic greek yogurt and fruit completes it. And the fact that an 8oz service is under 270 Calories? Only makes this product that much more fantastic. I loved all three flavors, but blueberry was the shining star. You have to try this if you see it around. Chances are, you probably haven’t had anything like it. This is some tasty stuff.

LOVES. IT. Right up Mama’s alley.
Whole grain oats (Bob’s Red Mill… yes please) soaked overnight in apple juice… Non-​fat Greek Probiotic Yogurt is added in the AM, THEN — - fresh fruit and agave nectar for a tinge of sweetness. YES!!!
I was a tad skeptical when i looked at the nutritional breakdown… seemed high carb… but after doing some research, it’s really not. You are getting GOOD whole grain carbs, (apparently there is an entire cup of oats) a sensible amount of fiber, and the sugar is ALL NATURAL… i mean, a large apple has 24g of natural sugar. This product has no preservatives and kept me full for a few solid hours!
Great for runners & athletes… also people looking for a quick grab & go breakfast that is healthy. Which unfortunately is hard to find. Don’t be fooled by high calorie, preservative ridden «quick healthy breakfast» items. This one is the real deal.
I am hoping that Zen Monkey finds it’s way onto the shelves of Starbucks & Whole Foods… I have tried all 3 flavors: Apples & Cinnamon/​Strawberry/​Blueberry. My fav is the Apples & Cinnamon.
Excited to see what happens with this start-​up company in the future!

Zen Monkey is incredibly delicious. At first, I thought, «Oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit? All in one?! That’s… hm, different.» And it sure is different. But the marvelous kind of different. :)
Zen Monkey currently offers three flavors: Apple Cinnamon (YUM!), Blueberry (YUM!!), and Strawberry (YUM!). The Apple Cinnamon is slightly tangy, and sure packs a punch. But for all you A&C lovers, you can’t go wrong with Zen Monkey’s twist! For all the blueberry fans, the blueberry mix is delightful. Personally, I could have it at any time of the day, with no guilt afterwards.
So skip your greasy 5-​minute run to McDonald’s or your local diner. Grab some Zen Monkey on the go, and you’ll definitely be Zen’ing it up at the office or at school. They sure know how to make oatmeal right. :)
