Coconut Water Australia

With the newest celebrity craze of Coconut water taking the world (particularly the US) by storm, it is not surprising to hear Australian fresh juice and smoothie company ‘Nudie’ jump on the health fanatic band wagon in attempts to saturate the market with its array of tempting concoctions. In just a few months there are now several other flavours of coconut water including natural flavours that have attempted to capture the smooth, sweet taste of pure coconut water.

First but foremost, what is coconut water?
To put it bluntly, it is water from a coconut! Easily mistaken for its creamier brother ‘coconut milk’, coconut water can be found in young green coconuts, usually around 7 months old. The ‘coconut milk’ that everyone is more familiar with, comes from the ripened coconut (when the young green coconut turns into a brown husky coconut – usually what you see in the fruit aisle of your supermarket).

Now, seeing as coconut water is the new and up and coming fad, it was a matter of time before I jumped onto the coconut train and see what all the hype was about.

But why should I drink this water from a coconut?
According to Health Mad, Coconut water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It is choc-full of electrolytes, calcium, potassium, magnesium; everything that is good for you for only around 60 calories per serve. We have also started to documenting our own personal experiences with coconut water when performing exercises such as cardio and weights in the gym. View our latest article called Coconut Water instead of Protein Powder?

So while we can only get my hands on a select number of bottles and variety of coconut water (without ordering it from the US and forking out a bucket load of shipping costs), the Coconut Water Reviews are from our personal experiences. We will also review new coconut water brands please contact us to find out how to send us samples.

We have also found coconut water to be a very useful recovery beverage for consumption during and after exercise including activities such as fitness classes, weights sessions and even long distance running. The main benefits from drinking coconut water are the increased energy levels, better endurance and an easier recovery post workout.
