Coconut Creme

• 1½ cups water or coconut water
• 1/3 cup raw sweetener of choice
• 6 cups young Thai coconut flesh
• 1 tsp sea salt

Toppings

• 1 cup diced pineapple
• 1 cup diced papaya
• 1 cup blueberries
• juice of 1 lime (optional)

• In a blender, combine all coconut crème ingredients, loading in liquids first.
• Blend on high speed for 30 to 40 seconds or until well-combined, rich, and creamy. Some coconuts are naturally thicker than others. You may need to add more moisture to thin out the mix to a creamy texture by adding 2 Tbsp of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
• Chill the crème until ready to enjoy.
• For the toppings, toss all fruits together in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle the lime juice over the fruit. When ready to enjoy, combine the crème and the fruit in ramekin bowls or other fun serving dishes. Don't forget to top it off with superfoods, like hemp seeds and goji berries, for added...
