2 oz Coconut Cream Mix**

how to prepare

Add all ingredients to a blender with 1.5 cups of ice. Blend on low for 15–20 seconds, or until smoothie-like in consistency. Switch to high for 5 seconds to fully incorporate the ice. Pour into a 16oz Mason Jar, then garnish with a small watermelon wedge and half a strawberry, and enjoy with a sustainable straw.

 

*Strawberry-Watermelon Juice:
Blend equal parts strawberries and watermelon until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a separate container and refrigerate.

 

**Coconut Cream Mix:
Blend equal parts cream of coconut (e.g. “Coco Lopez”) and coconut milk to create a smoother, more pourable coconut cream. Pour into a food safe container and refrigerate.

 

***Honey Syrup:

Combine two parts honey to one part hot water. Stir until fully dissolved, then pour into a food safe container and refrigerate.
