There's nothing better than a coconut water on a hot summer's day. It's the perfect thirst quencher. It contains electrolytes, potassium and minerals which makes it a great drink to hydrate with after a workout. While nothing replaces the experience and taste of cutting open a young green coconut and drinking the water within, there are some advantages to buying coconut water in a can. First is consistency. Fresh young coconuts are unpredictable. Sometimes the water is rotten or just bland, but when it's good it's amazing. Secondly, young coconuts don't have a pull tab and are a bitch to open. (You better own a machete.)
There are two brands which I think come out on top of the coconut water wars. First is Taste Nirvana's. It is "Happiness in a bottle" or so it says on the lid. The taste is light and sweet. I love the fact that it's in a resealable glass bottle. The only disadvantage is the size and the price. I wish there was more in the bottle for less!
Which brings me to Sunsweet Natural's c2o. You get more for your money with this brand. The only problem is that it's not resealable. Which means you have to down it all at once or share. (NEVER!)
I prefer the taste of c2o over Taste Nirvana. It has a stronger flavor and satisfies my coconut cravings better than Taste Nirvana's.
