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 was birthed.

Daniella lives in Tulum, Mexico with her partner, Charlie, two sons, and dog, Milky.  She has taken on the role of director of the Belize Sustainable Development Corporation and 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

Gluten, a curse to some and a real pleasure to others, or a bit of both to many.  We purposefully have chosen not to have any products containing gluten on our menu as one of our main objectives is to promote and support good gut health for all.

Take the coconut in your hand and begin to hit the hammer around the circumference of the coconut. Hit & turn, hit & turn.

Depending on the quality of your coconut, this could take a while!
