Does anyone here drink it? I normally hate it but it's so good for you. It has loads of potassium so as far as hydration goes, its a bit better than water. I can only drink the Zico Chocolate kind. it tastes like chocolate milk but its much healthier. I get a liter at Smiths for $6 or you can just get the 12oz for $3. I normally drink it while eating an apple before I go workout or teach a fitness class, it helps me get energized.

    I looooooooooove coconut water. I get Zico when I want it to be pure and sometimes I get peach & mango Vita Coconut Water. Vita's about $3 for a box.

    I tried the peach and mango but it did not like my taste buds. I am kinda upset cuz I love peaches and mangoes. lol The taste of coconut water is very strong. You either like it or hate it depending on the flavor.

    I love coconut water! The best-tasting one I had was from Harmless Harvest, but it's very pricey :(
    Try and find the pink ones~♪

    Why would you consider drinking it if it is something you dont enjoy? Life is too short for that :)

    I am sure you could find an alternative that has the electrolytes/benefits of coconut water.

    ^^ I was going to say this, too. Don't force yourself to drink something that you hate. If you really felt you needed to have it for nutritional reasons then you could try to add it to a smoothie to help mask some of the taste.

    I occasionally drink plain Zico coconut water, drink it cold - tastes better. If you're just looking for the electrolytes/potassium more specifically...Go for a banana - might have a touch less potassium but it's still more than enough. If you're just drinking it for its nutrient content...Find foods you enjoy that could give you the same, the flavored coconut water has stuff you don't need added to it

    I said I don't like other flavors besides the chocolate flavor. lol Thats the only flavor I like and enjoy.
