Coconut Water

Hi everyone!


    While I was in Costa Rica I had my first coconut!!  When I came home to the states I was hoping I would find a company that makes yummy coconut water!  {During the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach I tried some coconut water, yuck!! They almost had me to the point of never trying it again} 

Have you ever had a fresh coconut? 

     Coconut Water contains electrolytes such as Na, K, Ca, Ph and Mg.  I like the fact that coconut water contains natural sugars and no refined sugars.  I am not telling you to drink coconut water as an alternative to plain old water.  It is smart to drink water throughout the day BUT {in my opinion} coconut water is a very good alternative to juices and sports drinks! 

What coconut water brands do you drink?

I like ZICO :)
