I don't know how many coconut water afficionados are out there, but if you've read this blog for a while, you know that I am one. I use the refreshing and subtle beverage as one of my pre-Pilates drinks to minimize my muscle cramps.
But I just like it. :) Plain or with a pack of Splenda. Mmm.
(Though nothing beats fresh and chilled from the coconut itself, like I had a couple weeks ago when we drove to a nursery in South Miami, not to buy plants, but to get some chilled coconuts for the water.)
I also like how it's helpful in keeping blood pressure in the healthy range. (I like some salty convenience foods, like canned soup and mac-n-cheese, and I love cheese, and I try to drink coconut water when I have very salty stuff to ease the bloat effects.)
Well, amazon.com has a special on one of their in-stock brands of coconut water. Even though I got a case today of my usual Zico coconut water, I placed an order for this, cause I figure--two times the water for the price of one? I'm not missing that.
Besides, I am curious to see what tangerine puree does to coconut water. (The free case is of the tangerine flavored one.)
Interested? Visit HERE. Follow the directions exactly to get the $21 dollars off.
Note: I haven't tried this brand--Vita Coco--but like the two I've tried from amazon.com (Zico, ONE), they come from Brazil and (except for flavored versions) state they are 100% coconut water.

I've only ever had coconut milk. I've never seen coconut water here before. What are the calories/fat like?
Eleven ounces (almost a cup and a half) of coconut water is like 60 calories, but tons of Potassium and a few other minerals.
Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to look for it here.
Yum, I love coconut. That sounds good.
