    I love the Vita Coco pineapple, of course it's sweetened so probably not the best choice for those watching carbs or sugar. I drink it to replace electrolytes....Florida sun can be brutal. :wink:

    I like that one too, it's good!

    Like a lot of people that have replied, I think it taste bad. However.....drum roll please.... I LOVE the "So Delicious" Coconut Milk Mini fudge bars and the mini Chocolate Almond bars- in the ice cream section at most healthy stores and even some not so healthy sotres. They are amazing and I swear it seems like they help me to lose weight. Of course within my calorie range.. ;)

    i drink young coconut water after bikram yoga. i like the slightly sweet taste (but it must be cold, very cold). it helps rebalance my potassium and sugars.

    there are a lot of different brands. several are really nasty, so if you try one you don't like, don't give up on it. my favorite brand is 'amy and brian'. http://www.amyandbriannaturals.com/

    I have tried coconut water a couple of different times, but I don't like it at all. My significant other LOVES it and drinks it all the time after his runs and being on the elliptical.

    I also have friends who love it and find it particularly refreshing after long, hot runs.

    I did not like the texture (??) it seemed a bit viscous or thick-something-not sure I am describing it well.

    I will try it again because it has such great health benefits but I am not sure it will ever be something I enjoy.
