Coconut water the new sport drink?

Coconut water is really refreshing, sometimes you can try the cans with some of the pulp in very tasty.

It is not too bad... and if you make your own kefir, or get a kefir starter kit from the body Ecology website, you can ferment it into coconut kefir, which is now being studied for all the improvements in autistic children who increase their intake of lacto-fermented foods!

Anyways, that is besides the point... and it is full of good things for you... so enjoy it as a treat! :drinker:

the must have let it get old... I bought 2 cases for my earthquake kit, and when I finally opened them up, they tasted like that... take the pull date seriously!

I've seriously been tihinking of mixing my protein powder in coconut milk.

Its delicious! It makes it creamy and rich
It tasted the best in my casien i thought. Basically had to eat it with a spoon

I tried coconut water in India, and it was just as nasty there fresh as it is in the can I bought here for my hubby. :P bleh! Apparently, people in India drink it because it cools their body temperature... thought that was interesting.

I've tried O.N.E coconut water and it's actually pretty good but not what I expected. LOL

This is the only one I like. Refreshing!

That's what I was thinking. It might be good poured over shaved ice

Fresh coconut water is a natural laxative and very good for you.

While I have never tried it canned, bottled, etc, I very much enjoy it fresh, as well as the coconut meat itself.
I fact, I bought one last week, the coconut (the lighter brown one, a little larger) yielded about 14oz of "milk", then I stored the meat in a little fresh lime juice which I loved as a snack, and thought it would also be tastey with a dash of salt to cut the acidity of the lime.

I've spent quite a lot of time in Brazil and have had coconut water from a coconut there a few times because they look so exciting and make great photos (shallow! )

Don't actually like them much at all though - i find it cooling but kind of tasteless and 'heavy'?

Didn't know it was that low cal though, might have to rethink!

I need to find a good brand. The only coconut water I've ever had tastes like how feet and moldy dish towels smell. :sick:

I know the feeling. I hate canned or bottled coconut water. Luckily I live in a place where everyday there are a bunch of people selling coconuts on the street, You just have to make a hole, put a straw and enjoy!!!

That's the only way I really enjoy it, though I like most of the coconut waters with pulp much more than your typical sports drinks ( I despise gatorade and the like, I sometimes drink the plain pedialyte mixed with fruit juice).

I love coconut water, I buy Vito Coco and Zico. When the Zico goes on sale in the 11 oz tetra paks I stock up.

Coconut water is fantastic i have been drinking it for years! It is great post exercise as it replenishes Electrolite's and it also contains fat fighting Enzymes!
Just make sure you by only pure, raw ,unflavoured,organic! No added sugar... nothing!! Just pure coconut water .... or really your just haivng some other sugar filled drink!!

YUM to coconut goodness!!

This! And yes it's a mild laxative as well
