This “Nature’s Cereal” Recipe Is Going Viral on TikTok Thanks to Lizzo

It’s literally an unblended smoothie.

When it comes to going viral on TikTok, one of the most popular types of trends is crazy food ideas.

I’m sure we all remember the caffeine monstrosity that was the whipped dalgona coffee of iso times. And more recently, there was the salty cheat meal that is the baked feta pasta, popularised in Finland.

Now, there’s a new recipe on the block, called ‘Nature's Cereal’ and it’s way more simple than any of its predecessors.

Introduced by @natures_food on TikTok, all you need is a handful of pomegranate seeds, blackberries, blueberries (some people have also added strawberries), and coconut water.

Essentially, it’s fruit instead of processed cereal and coconut water instead of milk.

Mmkay.

Those who have recreated the recipe have suggested including cubes of ice to keep it cool and add some *crunch*.

In fact, @natures_food raved on about how this ‘cereal’ is so refreshing and can give you an awesome boost of energy, so as you would expect, it promptly went viral.

This recipe does look refreshing as, but isn’t it just an unblended smoothie? I’m confused.

The unusual thing about this recipe is that it was picked up and popularised by none other than the musical queen herself, Lizzo.

After discovering the @natures_food’s recipe, Lizzo then recreated the recipe twice, boldly claiming that she’s addicted.

"Don’t knock it, ‘til you’ve tried it," the singer said in her second post.

ITS ADDICTING

Personally, I’m sceptical because it’s literally fruit and water, but I’m willing to go with whatever Lizzo says.

Since Lizzo jumped on the Nature’s Cereal bandwagon, a bunch of other TikTok personalities have given the recipe a go.

Even OG YouTube personality Colleen Ballinger (more commonly known as Miranda Sings) tried it, but she was underwhelmed to say the least.

While I have relatively low expectations for this dish, the trend itself is wholesome as heck. Plus, if it’s getting more of us eating fruit and staying hydrated, I’m totally on board.
