My New Obsession

Guys I want to introduce you to my latest obsession: coconut water. This stuff is amazing I'm telling you. It's even better than coconut milk. If you don't know the difference, coconut milk is made from pressing the juice out of the coconut meat while coconut water is found in the center of the green coconuts.

I'm kinda majorly obsessing over this stuff. Why? Because it's hydrating, good for you and tastes amazing. Also since I don't drink soda, energy drinks, sports drinks or sweetened tea, and only drink minimal coffee I often miss having something besides water (or tea) to drink. Will this satisfy your sugar craving? No. Is that a bad thing? No. It is slightly sweet but far, far from the overly sickeningly sweet taste of most "mainstream" drinks.

Health benefits? Yes. Coconut water is much more effective at hydrating than sports drinks or energy drinks as it has high levels of potassium and electrolytes.

Down sides? It's kind of expensive.  And some people may not like the taste. I was told it was an acquired taste, I acquired it very quickly...before I even drank any actually. But I can't promise everyone will like it. I can only say you should give it a try. It's oh so tasty and satisfying.
