Daniella Hunter

FOUNDER & MENU CREATOR

Daniella Hunter is an authentic manifestation of her own individual tastes and health philosophy and The Real Coconut is an aesthetic of Daniella herself.

Having followed her own journey towards healing from severe asthma as a child, and a lifetime of poor health, Daniella delved into many different diet and cleanse programs to seek answers for a vital life, both for herself, and to share with others.  Left a little less than satisfied, she formulated her own philosophy of digestive health and sustainability, both personally and for the planet.  And so The Real Coconut, and it's plant-based recipe creation, was birthed.

Daniella lives between Tulum, Mexico and Santa Monica, California with her husband, Charlie, two sons and dogs.  She is a co-curator of Influence Foundation, committed to activate global sustainability initiatives, and she has also taken on the role of co-director of the Belize Sustainable Development Corporation, helping guide the boutique farmers in multi cropping practices. She dedicates her free time to wildlife rehabilitation, and as a Co-Founder and Governor of the Tulum International School, providing a passion and inquiry-based curriculum to children in Tulum.

Looking to spruce up your breakfast routine? Add this recipe for Asparagus, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Egg Bake with A Real Coconut Tortilla Crust to your recipe book! ✨ It's gluten free with dairy free options, and we thank @thesavoryceliac for this one. Here's how to make it:⁠ ⁠ Ingredients⁠ 4 of The Real Coconut Mushroom Blend Superfood Tortillas (or The Real Coconut Original Tortillas)⁠ 1 Cup Asparagus, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces⁠ 1 Cup Sliced Mushrooms⁠ 6 Eggs⁠ ¼ Cup Heavy Cream or Canned Coconut Milk⁠ 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chives, Chopped⁠ 1 ½ Tablespoons Goat Cheese, Crumbled (omit for dairy free)⁠ ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper⁠ ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt⁠ ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder⁠ ¼ Teaspoon Onion Powder.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Instructions⁠ - Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.⁠ ⁠ - Grease the bottom and sides of an 8x8 baking dish.⁠ ⁠ - Place the 4 tortillas on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Layer them over each other so they come up just about 1/2 inch on all sides of the dish.⁠ ⁠ - On the stovetop, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add 1 cup of cut asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.⁠ ⁠ - Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the hot pan and sprinkle with salt. This will help to get the moisture out of the mushrooms so they wilt down. Sauté for an additional 7-8 minutes until they soften and caramelize. Layer the sautéed veggies over the tortillas in the baking dish.⁠ ⁠ - In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream or canned coconut milk, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies in the baking dish and sprinkle the goat cheese over the egg mixture. Omit if making a dairy-free version.⁠ ⁠ - Bake uncovered at 350° Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes until the eggs are cooked all the way through and the edges are golden brown. It's done when the egg mixture is firm and bounces back when you touch it. Sprinkle with some additional chives and serve hot!⁠ ⁠ #therealcoconut #eggbake #glutenfree #glutenfreebreakfast #eatwellbewell #coconuts #coconutflour #glutenfreeliving #buzzfeast

Why Grain Free?
Why Grain Free?

It was a bit of a surprise to some that we made the restaurant menu grain free (alongside gluten, dairy and refined sugar free), but to many it turned out to be a godsend.

Understanding 'Dairy Free'...
Understanding 'Dairy Free'...

We haven’t actually talked about being dairy free on the blog yet, so it’s probably time to start talking because it was a very important part of the restaurant concept .

Why Grain Free?
Why Grain Free?

It was a bit of a surprise to some that we made the restaurant menu grain free (alongside gluten, dairy and refined sugar free), but to many it turned out to be a godsend.  It could have proven controversial as we had also adopted a plant based eating foundation (to which you can add ethically sourced animal products), so when you remove grains and pulses, where do plant based eaters get there grounding and more carb based foods from.  But it was an important point for us and something we strongly believed in and a challenge we were willing to meet.  Thankfully, it’s proven worthwhile, according to a lot of our guests at least.

Is Healthy Always Wholesome?
Is Healthy Always Wholesome?

There is no denying that wellness is a serious business right now. There seems to have been a mass movement in the collective consciousness towards delving deeper into health and wellbeing. Old beliefs and paradigms are shifting and it looks like people are wanting more. More health, more balance, more joy, more meaning, more life…

Our 3 Favourite Flours

We have been committed to using digestible and sustainable grain free flours at The Real Coconut since the get go and we have three gluten free flours in particular that we love to use, all of which come from either a whole fruit or a vegetable.

Did you know that there are 4 vitamins that require fats or lipids in order to be digested properly?  The fats are needed to transport the vitamins across the intestinal lining, into the bloodstream which then delivers them to the cells.

UNVEILING A NEW FLOUR ECONOMY - PLANTAIN FLOUR
UNVEILING A NEW FLOUR ECONOMY - PLANTAIN FLOUR

“I began experimenting with plantain flour at The Real Coconut in Tulum when developing a pancake recipe for the restaurant's breakfast menu, which then led to loads of other baked goodies, including cookies. The cookies have been so beloved by guests, and plantain flour is incredible from both a nutritional and environmental standpoint, that I had to find a way to bring them to the U.S.,” offers Daniella Hunter of The Real Coconut.
