# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It requires zero cooking skill and zero equipment beyond what's already in your kitchen.
  • The cold coconut water keeps everything crisp while the natural sweetness of ripe berries means you don't need added sugar.
  • It's the kind of breakfast that actually feels refreshing rather than heavy, even on the hottest mornings.
02 -
  • Don't wash your berries until you're ready to use them, or they'll start deteriorating; berries are sensitive and want to stay dry until the very last moment.
  • The coconut water must be cold before it touches anything, or you'll end up with a lukewarm bowl instead of that crisp, refreshing experience that makes this dish special.
03 -
  • If your blueberries or blackberries are slightly soft, use them anyway—they're perfect for this because they'll surrender their flavor to the coconut water while firmer berries stay intact.
  • The ratio of berries to coconut water should feel generous; too much ice and coconut water makes it watery, too little and the berries dry out quickly in the heat.
