# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Five minutes from craving to spoon in hand, no cooking required, just the satisfaction of putting something real together.
  • The coconut water doesn't mask the berries; it lets them shine while keeping everything naturally sweet without sugar creeping in.
  • It's the kind of bowl you can eat with your eyes closed and still taste the difference between fresh and just-picked.
02 -
  • Don't wash berries until you're ready to use them; moisture is the enemy of their shelf life and they'll start breaking down faster.
  • If your coconut water isn't truly cold, the whole bowl loses its magic—chill it for at least an hour before serving, or the berries soften too quickly.
03 -
  • Freeze your bowls for ten minutes before serving if you have time; the extra cold keeps the berries from softening as fast.
  • Pour the coconut water just before eating, not earlier, because the berries will start breaking down the moment liquid touches them.
