Key Ingredients

This is a simple recipe made with fresh fruit. You can make it your own by adding your favorite fruits, or use the ingredients we suggest as seen on TikTok.

• Raspberries- We love the sweet and sour punch that raspberries give this tasty dish.
• Blackberries- Another tart berry that pairs perfectly with the sweeter tastes of blueberries and raspberries.
• Blueberries- This berry complements the other, more tart berries, with its sweet taste.
• Coconut Water - room temperature or chilled, a great way to hydrate.
• Ice - we love using crushed ice or pebble ice; it doesn't get in the way of the different fruits.

Storing Nature's Cereal

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 leftovers, 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!
