Coconut water?

I only recently tried coconut water and love it. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but to me coconut water tastes exactly like the skim milk left in the bowl after eating Frosted Flakes. I haven't eaten Frosted Flakes for decades but that was what I thought as soon as coconut water hit my tongue. I'm sure coconut water has WAAAY less sugar in it.

Anyone agree?

    I can't drink it, it feels slimy but I do use it in green shakes with spinach and fruit

    What brand? I've heard differing opinions on the taste of coconut water, and it makes me afraid to try because I like sweet things and I've heard it can range from too sweet to pretty much salt water.

    Fresh Coconut water from the coconut is delicious!! My favorite drink. I used to like ONE but they changed the recipe at one point and then I didn't like it anymore. Harmless is good but I stopped buying it because it is expensive. I think Zico and Vitacoco are nasty, but I buy Vitacoco with either Mango/Peach or Pineapple and it is ok. Plain Vitacoco is gross. Tastes NOTHING like water from a fresh coconut.
  • C20 brand coconut water (with pulp) seemed to come sufficiently close to fresh coconut water in taste and overall level of sweetness.

    I don’t think it tastes at all like sweet milk you get after pouring cereal in.

    I used to really dislike coconut water but recently I developed a taste for it. I love the pineapple flavored one. I use it as a base for my green juice and also take it to the beach with me.
