Staying hydrated in the summertime can be a challenge, and while water is tops in our book, sometimes (like after hours in the sun or long workouts) you need more than water. Many of us reach for a sports drink to quench our thirst and replenish our electrolytes, which are lost when we sweat.
We first reviewed coconut water in 2009. Then, I could only find it at health-food stores and many readers said they hadn’t tried it. Now, just two years later, we see it talked about on blogs, Message Boards and the like, and it’s available everywhere from mainstream supermarkets to yoga studios.
We’re thrilled to be hosting a giveaway with VitaCoco, which offers five varieties of coconut water: original, peach & mango, pineapple, tangerine and acai & pom.
They’re giving away a case of coconut water to five lucky readers. They also gifted us with a few cases earlier this summer. Boy, did they hit the spot.
For those of you who have tried coconut water but not liked it, consider trying a flavored variety. Coconut water has a not-so-sweet, almost salty taste that’s not overly “coconutty.” As a self-proclaimed coconut water expert, I recommend trying the pineapple, peach and mango or tangerine varieties from VitaCoco. (I like them all, really! Pineapple is my favorite and was a hit at the office. We didn’t really like the acai variety—not enough coconut flavor.)

How do you stay fit and feeling great during the hot summer months?

I've loved drinking fresh coconut water since I was a child but these are okay too. My 2 year old loves coconut water from either source! - 8/1/2011 6:49:19 PM
Each week I purchase approximately 1gallon and love it when it is chilled. - 7/31/2011 9:53:42 AM
My usual cooling beverage? I make green flavored tea, add one packet Splenda per 2 qt pan, then cool it in the rifrigerator overnight, serving with a bit of ice. It's refreshing, cool...and healthy. Sometimes I add fruit wedges; oranges, lemons, limes usually. - 7/30/2011 10:37:01 PM
Although, maybe I should try the acai flavor, the one without the coconut flavor! - 7/30/2011 11:34:33 AM
I have a pineapple one in my fridge- it was 50 cents off this week at my local Dominicks, so I said "why not?" - 7/30/2011 11:00:39 AM

But, I have to drink them REALLY cold, or else I find the taste a little off-putting. That might be because someone once equated it to plasma to me. - 7/29/2011 10:24:39 PM
