Coconut Water
The whole family loves to drink fresh coconut water, especially straight away from the coconut ! It’s naturally refreshing and it gives us the feelings of holidays.
The natural flavor of coconut water is so good and it’s naturally healthy ! It’s the clear liquid in the fruit’s center that is tapped from young, green coconuts.
You can find fresh coconut in every supermarket in Bahrain. The best price I have spotted so far was at Lulu.
How to stay away from fizzy drinks?
Fizzy drinks are all over the market and it is sometimes difficult (especially for the young generation) to stay away from them.
At home, I clearly don’t have any fizzy drinks at all. We drink water and very often detox water.
Another option is making a smoothie, juicing, or opening a fresh coconut. It makes a huge difference as we basically drink vitamins. And this way we keep our bodies healthy.
Top Tip about coconut !
It is sometimes a bit tricky to open a young coconut, but here is a video that will definitely help you to do it quickly and easily !
Coconut water is a famous “healthy” drink as it contains fibers, water and a large amount of potassium. So it is great as a sports drink or to add to your smoothie before or after a work-out! And if you really need to rehydrate your body, check my hydrating watermelon smoothie with coconut water.
Healthy coconut water and…
Tasty, sweet, hydrating, high in fiber and refreshing !
