Happy Thursday!  Today I want to share with you a little bit about how I’m liking the coconut water Cocozia sent me to try.

Note:  I received products from Cocozia for review, I was not compensated for my time.  All thoughts and opinions in this post and every post are my own.

When the folks over at Cocozia contacted me and asked me if I’d like to try their coconut water I was super excited, but also a little nervous.  I never liked coconut water in the past (unless it was chocolate flavor) until I tried coconut water in Hawaii from an actual coconut!

One thing I really liked about the coconut water in Hawaii is that it was surprisingly not super sweet, Cocozia has no added sugar, so to me it tasted very similar to what I had in Hawaii!  Did you know that coconut water is also a great way to hydrate?

–  Unlike sports drinks Cocozia coconut water contains organic coconut juice and no added sugar, preservatives or artificial ingredients.

–  Unsweetened coconut water contains half the calories and one third of the sugar per 8fl oz serving of popular sports drinks

–  Potassium is an important nutrient in nerve transmission, muscle contraction, blood pressure control, pH balance and fluid balance. Cocozia coconut water contains SIX TIMES the amount of potassium as the average sports drink, it also contains other electrolytes essential to maintain proper hydration such as sodium and magnesium.

Personally, I’ve been LOVING sipping on some after hot yoga, receiving the box was great timing!
