Anyone else really like coconut water ?

I used to absolutely hate the stuff not so long ago.. now I'm finding myself buying multipacks for work and literally drinking a litre a day.

I mean there doesn't seem to be much sugar or calories in it.. so why not.

Anyone else really like it?

My wife drinks it a lot as it's good for "free from" diets.

I'm actually on a diet to put weight on. So maybe this isn't really that great for me

the insane cost, i quite like it, but never buy it due to cost.

The Mrs loves it, but I think it's absolutely vile

It's delicious, great for re-hydrating too.

Can't afford to drink it anymore though

I love it. It's expensive but it quenches even the biggest thirst as it's really hydrating.

robj20 · 31 Mar 2017 at 07:38

Really hydrating. Just like water.

I have no idea how anyone can say they actually like coconut water - tolerate feels like more of an appropriate word.

It is absolutely vile and I think all of you that enjoy it need your heads examining.

Looking at what's in it, it seems rather similar to Lucazade sport albeit with less sugar. OP how many calories and sugar is in that litre a day?

Edit -

Just looked it up about 190 calories and 45 grams of sugar! :eek:

Less than a bottle of coke. Winning !

Any particular brands which are better ? Or are they all the same ?

Edit. I echo the sentiment of it being refreshing. I can neck a 500ml in one go when I'm thirsty. Even standard water doesn't compare.

Gives me the poops every time.

I thought coconut water is a mild laxative?

it is as is a lot of things.
for most people a few glases a day wont make any difference.

I love the stuff - I use it for the liquid element of my breakfast smoothie.

Edit - The stuff I use is 45 calories and 11g of sugar per 240ML which isn't too bad.

Bunka · 5 Apr 2017 at 12:28

I get it free at work, we have a fridge full of the stuff. I used to drink quite a bit until realising that sugar is added! There's literally no point, coconut water tastes sweet enough as it is!

DominicStar · 7 Apr 2017 at 13:23

I had innocent coconut water as part of a meal deal. The closest flavour I can compare it to is bottom of the range cornflakes.

snips86x · 7 Apr 2017 at 13:25

Love the stuff but go through it far too quickly

chroniclard · 7 Apr 2017 at 13:28

I like it however its just unnecessary calories so I dont buy it often.

InfiniteNoise · 25 Apr 2017 at 19:37

Tried it once, hated it.

Love coconut milk though, delicious.
