Coconut Water

Want an energy drink that doesn't come in 'blue' flavor?

02.28.2007

The Bite:
Natural coconut water offers the same electrolytes and potassium as conventional sports drinks, with fewer calories and none of the artificial additives.
The Benefits: 
  • Delicious, refreshing alternative to the neon-colored sports drinks.
  • No artificial colors or preservatives (such as cancer-linked benzene).
  • Sustainable packaging. If you can't get it in the actual "nut," opt for Tetra Paks - 2 semi trucks can carry 1 million recyclable Tetra Paks compared to 52 semis for 1 million metal or glass containers.
  • Fewer calories. 8 oz of Gatorade has 63 calories; the same serving of coconut water has just 46.
Personally Speaking: 
Sara's brother - honest - makes a living building treehouses in Hawaii, and tells us that all the free coconuts sustain him on humid afternoons in the jungle.
Wanna Try: 
  • One Natural Experience - our first tasty intro to coco water outta the nut ($21/12).
  • Zico - gives 5% back to communities in Central and South America ($21/12).
  • Vita Coco - comes in tropical flavors like passion fruit and pineapple ($16/12).
  • Ideal Bite's Coconut Oil Tip - reasons why we love the oil even more than the water.

Cocktail Fact

Since coconut water has the same pH and electrolyte balance as blood, it can be used in plasma transfusions.

Bang For The Bite

Coco water's a super-hydrating, nutrient-rich and tasty alternative sports drink. (Sadly, however, it doesn't come in neon pink or green.)

Coconut water is great! I love it. When I was a kid, we used to go to the local swap meet, and the Tongans used to sell coconuts that were cooled in ice. They would crack open the top and put in a straw for us. Really refreshing! bad credit loans
