coconut water
I've been a firm believer in coconut water for sometime now. It is an ideal way to refresh and rehydrate, and that is especially important during the hot summer months. With no added sugar, it is a much better alternative to other beverages that are a source of electrolytes but are too often laden with excess sugar. Coconut water is also an excellent source of potassium and magnesium and a satisfying alternative to water. So, you can imagine how delighted I was when I was offered a generous sample of Cocozia 100% Organic Coconut Water.

Not all brands are alike and this one I found particularly refreshing with a clean taste, and it's organic too. I pour mine into a glass, but the little boxes come with a straw too for convenience. It's a bit pricier than some of the brands up for offer, but the clean taste makes it worth the price. And because it is so hydrating, it's not necessary to drink it the entire day, so have a glass here and there and then water or another beverage at other times. Those looking for something with a bit more flavor might like to try some of the other varieties of coconut water up for offer from Cocozia. Currently chocolate flavored coconut water is also available and coffee, mango and pineapple, also organic, are the newest flavors introduced. Visit the Cocozia website for retailers near you and further information.

Pure unflavored coconut water can also be used for cooking as a substitute for water in many dishes and it's a healthy addition to smoothies too.

I was offered a complimentary sample to try. I was not expected to write a positive review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
