# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • This drink is pure refreshment, and no one guesses how simple it is until I spill the secret.
  • The creamy coconut and tangy-sweet strawberries feel bright and indulgent, but it’s utterly wholesome and vegan if you want it to be.
02 -
  • If you over-blend with ice, it’ll water out the flavor—just pulse until frothy but not liquidy.
  • Switching from light to full-fat coconut milk one day made the drink taste like vacation, so don’t be afraid to go creamy.
03 -
  • Let the coconut milk chill overnight so it won’t melt the ice too fast.
  • Pulsing, not over-blending, keeps the cooler slushy and bright instead of thin and soupy.
