Coconut water

Coconut water is the clear liquid contained within a coconut and is a great source of hydration. It includes sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium and is naturally low in sugar. Because of these compounds, you may have heard of coconut water as a natural source of electrolytes.

All of these electrolytes make coconut water ideal for hot days or strenuous workouts. Coconut water may also be used as a base for smoothies, chia pudding, or as a substitute for tap water when a sense of sweetness is desired. If you have access to fresh coconuts, poke a hole in the black indentations, or eyes, on the top of the fruit using a sharp knife, metal skewer, or screwdriver to enjoy it.
