    Hint: Use whatever berries or fruit that are in season to make for a more affordable healthy breakfast.

    Substitutions

    • Strawberries - switch out one of the berry options with strawberries. An easy, delicious, and accessible fruit.
    • Pomegranate- add or substitute one of the fruits with pomegranate.
    • Sweetened Nature's Cereal- have a sweet tooth. Sprinkle the top of your prepared bowl with ½ teaspoon of sugar or a dash of honey.
    • Coconut Milk - Try a creamier coconut flavor by using coconut water instead of coconut water.
    • Almond Milk- want a refreshing treat without coconut water? Try almond milk instead.
    • Milk - Substitute coconut water for cows milk.
    • keto- Use keto friendly fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
    • Frozen fruit- Instead of using fresh fruit use frozen fruit if fruit isn't in season. There isn't need for ice when using frozen fruit.
    • Zero sugar coconut water- use zero sugar coconut water when cutting back on sugar instead of regular coconut water.

    Variations

    • Kid friendly - use pineapple juice or orange juice to make this a sweet treat for kids!
    • Zest - add a splash of lemon juice to zest things up!
    • Minty - Add a few mint leaves to make it feel even more refreshing.
    • Crunchy - Sprinkle in some homemade granola, try our Cardamom Granola Recipe.
    • Cinnamon - Add extra flavor by adding ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
    • Coconut flakes - For extra flavor, add dehydrated coconut flakes for an extra crunch and flavor.

    Equipment

    This recipe requires very little equipment to make!

    All you need is a single serve bowl.

    Making for a group of people? Use a small to medium sized mixing bowl and double or triple the recipe!

    Storage

    Because the berries sit in coconut water and ice, it's best to eat this dish when made. The berries will become soggy and mushy if they sit in the coconut water for a long period of time.

    If you do need to store, make sure to store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Note that the berries textures may change!

    These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing. The texture of the berries will change!

    Top tip

    Use your favorite berries and enjoy this refreshing meal! It's an easy breakfast to put together, and a healthy win!

      I had a fun time making this with my kids. We really loved the fresh berries. I will totally be making this in the summer when berries are a little more accessible but we needed the fun treat during this dreary months.

      What a fun recipe. I made this for a snack and I loved the berries and coconut water combo. I didn't have black berries so I made it with pomegranate instead and tasted so good.
