TikTok has been keeping many people busy within this pandemic with many challenges. From dancing, fashion, and even makeup, the popular social media app can keep a person busy for hours. However, this month’s challenge dealt with food. The app is popular for introducing us to quick food hacks and tips. However, the newest challenge titled the ‘Nature’s Cereal’ Challenge has many people asking questions and trying out of curiosity.
What’s Nature’s Cereal you may ask? It’s completely different than your favorite sugary cereal and milk. This cereal consists of fruits of your choice, ice, and coconut water. Tik Tok user natures_food is the one that started the trend when he uploaded a TikTok of the recipe. His recipe consisted of coconut water, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. The Tik Tok gained over 4 million viewers and thousands of likes. He went on to explain the positives of the recipe by stating, “Whenever I eat this cereal first thing in the morning, it helps with digestion.”
He also adds that after eating a bowl of it, he gained much more energy.
The TikTok trend also has gained the attention of three-time Grammy Award-winning artist Lizzo, who took it upon herself to try it herself. In one of her TikTok’s she stated, “I’m addicted, y’all,” adding “It’s really so good. I don’t know what it is about the coconut water, but it’s like creamy. And the pomegranates give you that crunch … don’t knock it ’til you try it.”
Lizzo managed to not only give the original Tik ok much-needed attention, but she also reacts to other people trying the fruity and fresh cereal bowl.
With the huge increase of many people cutting things like dairy out of their diets, it’s not quite shocking that things like Nature’s Cereal became quite popular quickly. You can view many Tik Toks of ‘Nature’s Cereal’ on the app or even watch a compilation of different ways people make it on YouTube.
