# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This is unbelievably easy to pull together, and nobody guesses it only took ten minutes.
  • There’s zero guilt—fresh fruit and coconut make it feel nourishing and fun at the same time.
02 -
  • Once, I dumped all the ice in at the beginning and ended up with a chunky, under-blended mess.
  • Waiting to add the ice is the secret—smooth first, then froth for that creamy finish.
03 -
  • Keep the coconut milk and water ice cold; this makes all the difference for keeping layers fluffy, not separated.
  • Give the drink a gentle swirl just before serving to recombine and wake up the flavor if it sits for a bit.
