Berry-Coconut Mojito Inspired Smoothie
This is where rich meets refreshing in the most perfect way. We’ve taken a handful of jewel-toned berries—blackberries and blueberries—and blended them into a velvety cascade of flavor, then introduced the luxurious, tropical richness of unsweetened coconut cream. But the real secret? A bright pop of lime and a whisper of fresh mint that cuts through the creaminess, leaving you with a clean, zingy finish that is absolutely irresistible.
It’s a complete flavor experience: sweet, tart, and creamy all at once. Whether you need a quick breakfast that feels like a treat, a post-workout recovery that tastes like a dessert, or just a moment of peaceful bliss, this smoothie is your ticket.

Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries, frozen and divided
- 1 cup blueberries, frozen and divided
- zest and juice of 2 limes, divided
- 1 sprig fresh mint, leaves only
- 1 (13.6 oz) can unsweeted coconut cream, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp agave syrup
- 3 cups ice
- toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
Muddle the Base: Divide 1/4 cup each of blackberries and blueberries, half of the mint leaves, and the juice of a lime between two serving glasses. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mixture until the berries release their juices and the mint is fragrant. Set aside.
-
Blend the Coconut Layer: In a blender, combine 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut cream, 1/4 cup water, agave to taste, and a handful of ice. Blend until the mixture is thick and smooth, adding more water if needed.
-
Add the Berry Swirl: In a separate small blender or food processor, combine the remaining berries, a small amount of coconut cream, and a splash of lime juice. Pulse a few times to create a chunky berry mixture.
-
Combine & Serve: Pour the blended coconut mixture into the glasses over the muddled berry base. Top with the berry swirl mixture. Enjoy immediately.
