[Closed] Coconut water

I got a free bottle with my Ocado order. Tried a mouthful and that's enough for me....for life.

Was about £2-3ish for a 500ml bottle as well.

How dare you disrespect one of the new super foods.

Do you know nothing about nutrition? 🙄 😉

Sorry, but it really was nasty. Put me right off my goji berries and kale smoothie.

Vita coco cafe thing is lovely. So there.

Add Rose's Lime Cordial to plain coconut water and enjoy a really refreshing drink. Must be Rose's though.

They was handing that stuff out after I race I did on Sunday, I was gagging for a drink so necked it 😯

plain stuff's lovely. I got totally washed away by the marketing spiel first off and was peddling it to a pal for post-gym workouts because of the natural electrolytes etc. His (Dr) missus said "or you could just eat normal food". Oh yeah.

It's Paleo Dude, must be good for you.

I like the stuff. Makes a change from tap-water. Not so good at room temp though, much nicer ice cold.

much nicer ice cold

Not for me. I liked it before it was cool. #hipster #beardlove

It's rank, really unpleasant.

It tastes disgusting so it must be good for me, same as wheatgrass juice and all the rest.

Put de lime in de coconut?

I found out it's use, it is a good hangover soother when ice cold, other than that, not sure I'd be a regular drinker!

I quite like it in small amounts.

It should have a warning that excessive consumption makes farts not a safe option 🙁

i like the plain stuff, not so keen on the flavoured/sugar added variants though.

You win the internet today NW

Aaaaah, so NOW I know where you're working in Swindon 🙂

Is it gluten free?

This made me laugh out loud. I sharted after drinking a litre of coconut water the other day.

In hindsight it is funny, but at the time...........the horror. Good job I was at home 😆

Let me know if you fancy a ride next week 🙂

I've been buying cans of coconut water long before the current fad. They have always sold it in Asian supermarkets, without the dubious health claims.

I like coconut in general and I've always thought that drinking the juice from a freshly opened coconut compares to drinking the last bit of milk from a bowl of overly sweetened kid's cereal like Frosties or Ricicles.

The flavoured stuff now available in supermarkets is utterly disgusting though.

I add mine to the various ingredients that go into a post workout recovery drink via a nutribullet. Can't tell its there, although I seem to one of the rare ones that can drink that and concentrated beetroot juice straight without an issue.

I had some from a guy by the side of the road in a shack a few miles outside Bangalore. He took a fresh coconut, split it open with a great big machete and handed it to me. It was about 40C, and I'd been cycling around the (astonishing) countryside for several hours. It was completely amazingly delicious.

I then tried some out of a carton back in the UK. It was rank.
