# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than waiting for toast to brown, and somehow feels more indulgent.
  • The natural sugars from the berries keep you satisfied without the crash that comes from granola or sweetened cereal.
  • You can eat it with a spoon or drink it straight from the bowl, no rules, no mess, just cold and alive.
02 -
  • If you use warm or room temperature coconut water, the ice melts too fast and the whole thing turns into a sad, watery puddle, always chill the coconut water first.
  • Frozen berries work in a pinch, but they make the coconut water cloudy and the texture goes soft, fresh is worth the extra dollar.
03 -
  • Buy berries at the farmers market if you can, they taste twice as sweet and last longer than the grocery store ones shipped from far away.
  • If your coconut water tastes too plain, add a tiny pinch of sea salt, it brings out the natural sweetness of the berries without making anything taste salty.
