Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Wash all fresh produce thoroughly under cool running water, ensuring berries and cucumber are clean and free from debris.
- Using a sharp knife, dice the cucumber into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size to ensure even distribution throughout the dish.

- In a medium-sized serving bowl, combine the mixed berries and diced cucumber as the base of the dish.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts and unsweetened coconut flakes over the fruit and cucumber mixture, creating a layered appearance.
- Gently pour the almond milk over the ingredients, ensuring even coverage but not completely submerging the ingredients.
- Evenly distribute the chia seeds across the top of the mixture, allowing them to add nutritional value and slight texture.

Tips
- Choose Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The success of this recipe depends on using the freshest produce and highest quality nuts and seeds.
- Chill Your Serving Bowls: For an extra refreshing experience, place your serving bowls in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before assembling the dish.
- Customize Your Mix: Feel free to swap nuts or berries based on your preference or seasonal availability. Experiment with different combinations!
- Chia Seed Pro Tip: Let the chia seeds sit for a few minutes to slightly absorb the almond milk, creating a more cohesive texture.
- Prep Ahead: You can dice the cucumber and chop the nuts in advance to save time during morning preparation.
- Temperature Matters: Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the crisp texture of the ingredients and enjoy the maximum nutritional benefits.
- Storage Hack: If you have leftovers, store the dry ingredients and almond milk separately to prevent sogginess.
