The barley grass and coconut water cooler
By the PBC team · July 2026
If spirulina is the bold one, barley grass is the easy-going one, mellow enough to enjoy plain. This glass keeps it that way: half water, half chilled coconut water, naturally a little sweet. The easiest green to start with.
What you need
- 1 level teaspoon (4g) barley grass powder
- Half a glass of cool water
- Chilled coconut water to top up — about 150ml
- Ice, if the day calls for it
No blender, no shaker, no technique. Just a glass and a spoon.
How to make it
Measure
One level teaspoon from the pouch: the full 4g serving. Barley grass is gentle, so the full teaspoon is an easy place to start. Ages 5–12: half a teaspoon.
Just stir
Stir it into the half glass of cool water until the green runs even. Twenty seconds does it. This is the mildest of our greens, and it behaves like it: no clumping, no strong smell, just a soft grassy green.
Top with coconut water
Fill the rest of the glass with chilled coconut water. It brings a natural, light sweetness, no syrup needed.
Enjoy
Over ice on a warm afternoon, or straight from the fridge on an ordinary one. Mild, refreshing and easy to love, whatever kind of day it is.
“The green for people who think they don’t like greens.”
Make it yours
- Plainer: just cool water works, as barley grass carries a glass on its own
- Smoothie bowl: blend the teaspoon with a frozen banana and a kiwi for something gentle and spoonable
- Brighter: a squeeze of lime over the ice
- For kids (5–12): half a teaspoon. The coconut water makes it a family favourite
Good to know
Coconut water brands vary in sweetness, so have a taste before adding anything. And as with all our greens, slight shade differences between pouches are normal. That’s the plant, not a recipe change.
