Coconut water! I went to my local store for mt weekly shopping and I found these drinks. They have like 3 different kinds. "Pineapple, chocolate and coconut flavor" The brand name is "Zico" I bought the pineapple kind. I can't wait to try this thing. It might be gross, but if it is, i can always choke it down. lol This is a semi-better alternative to those protein drinks i was buying. Those had 290 calories! eeek! Anways....if anyone has ever bought one of these, let me know what you think!

Here's the nutritional breakdown:

I like the idea of all that potassium; I rarely get in what I should. You can also give us an update as to your opinion of the taste.:happy:

Where do you find these?

One of my friends on here is drinking Vita Coco coconut water. In my area its only available at GNC, but I'm going there tomorrow to check it out. Looks a little expensive based on what the company offers for online purchase. But yea, I think I'm ready to go the coconut water route. I'm ready to change things up a little! Thanks for the topic!

For any of you checking back on this. I tried the coconut water today with my dinner. I did have to choke it down (literally) I didn't like it all that much :-/ it was kind of like drinking thick coconut-pineapple water. I mean, it's not really thick like a smoothie, its like nectar thick. I just don't like it. Hope this helped you all.
