TikTok is moving on from warm and hearty baked oats into its latest food trend, "nature's cereal," a fruity breakfast bowl filled with mixed berries, crunchy pomegranate and fresh, sweet coconut water.

The viral recipe, originally posted by TikTok account @natures_food, offers a healthy, fruity alternative to the traditional breakfast cereal. To prepare "nature's cereal," the TikToker combines blueberries, blackberries and pomegranate seeds in a bowl, then topping it with some coconut water. "The number one thing I notice when I eat this is my energy level -- the energy level is through the roof," the content creator says in the video.

Given the addictive nature of TikTok, it is not surprising that the #naturescereal hashtag has already accumulated nearly 250 million views on the social media platform. Anyone who has been following the popular food trend will also probably know that Lizzo is a fan of the recipe. After trying nature's cereal for the first time and recommending it to her followers in a TikTok a week ago, the "Good As Hell" singer has since returned to the app to share a string of duet videos, in which she reacts to other TikTok users attempting the recipe.
