Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Fruits:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
Liquids:
- 2 cups (16 fluid ounces) coconut water
Ice and Chilling:
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Carefully select ripe, vibrant berries and gently rinse them under cool water to remove any debris or impurities.
- Transfer the cleaned blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries into a high-powered blender, ensuring an even distribution of each berry variety.
- Add crisp, clean ice cubes to the blender to enhance the drink’s refreshing temperature and create a smooth, chilled texture.
- Pour the pure coconut water directly over the berries and ice, allowing the liquid to settle evenly across the ingredients.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and activate the pulse function to initially break down the berries, creating a preliminary texture.
- Switch to high-speed blending for 45-60 seconds, transforming the mixture into a silky, homogeneous beverage with a vibrant purple-red hue.
- Stop blending when the consistency becomes uniform and no large berry chunks remain visible.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a small amount of natural sweetener or additional coconut water.
- Pour the Summer Berry Coconut Splash into a chilled glass, allowing the drink to settle for a moment.
- Optional: Garnish with a few whole berries or a mint leaf to enhance visual appeal and provide a fresh aromatic element.
Notes
- Wash berries thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides before blending.
- Frozen berries work perfectly if fresh aren’t available, maintaining the same delicious flavor and nutrition.
- Chill glasses beforehand for an extra refreshing tropical drink experience.
- Use seedless coconut water for smoother texture and cleaner drinking sensation.
- Add a small mint leaf as garnish to enhance visual appeal and provide subtle herbal undertone.
- Room temperature ingredients might reduce the drink’s cool and crisp refreshment, so keep everything cold.
