Drinking our recommended eight glasses of water a day seems daunting. It becomes excruciating when we are craving anything with sugar and would give our left arm for a Diet Coke.
Well, we recently stumbled upon something that allows us to stay hydrated and quench or thirst with just a hint of natural sugar: coconut water. If you can’t get to the beach every morning to crack open your own coconut, there are plenty of bottled options that still pack the punch of the real thing.
From O.N.E. Coconut Water to Vita Coco, you can hydrate yourself and replenish your electrolytes with a naturally fat free and low sugar beverage.
This intoxicating beverage spurred us further into a hunt for all things coconut. We have never cooked with coconut oil, although we enjoy the fruits of others, so we were surprised when we learned, not only does it taste delicious in stir fry, but it does wonders for our skin and hair. Coconut oil can be found along side Vitamin E oil and is an amazing moisturizer or bath oil. When applied to wet hair, it stops the loss of proteins, allowing for a lustrous ponytail after continued use.
Coconut might just be our super-fruit.
