You have to hand it to Mother Nature… The girl knows what she’s doing. Case in point: Coconut water. Essentially Earth’s Gatorade, this elixir is jam-packed with vitamins, nutrients and electrolytes that help keep our bodies going no matter the active endeavor we take on. I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of the stuff straight up (I’ve tried it many times and just can’t get down with it), but Coco5 gave me a nice little work-around with their coconut/fruit blends. Now I’m sipping on coconut water regularly, and I feel really good about it.
In case you haven’t jumped on the coconut water bandwagon yet, it has a slew of proven health benefits that include joint and muscle lubrication, increased metabolism, enhanced physical performance and even improving mental focus (and who doesn’t need that?).
If you’re wondering why you should choose Coco5 over the other options out there, it has less calories and sugar than the competition, and the flavors can’t be beat. I LOVE the Pineapple because it really tastes like a piña colada, and I’m excited to try the Tropical Passion, Limon, Citrus Splash and Cherry Crush as well.
With the summer heat at full tilt, there’s no doubt we could all use a little extra hydration and Coco5 is the healthy way to get it. And if you’re looking to party it up as you cool down, my husband had the brilliant idea of adding a splash of vodka to it, and I think he might be on to something. In the name of research, I’m off to give that a try. I’ll keep you posted!
