Coconut water, the liquid found inside a young coconut,  not to be confused with Coconut milk. 

Did you know that Coconut water is…

Malu drinking coconut water ;-)

Malu drinking coconut water ;-)

  • 99% Fat Free
  • Low in sugars
  • an all natural isotonic beverage to re-hydrate your body
  • loaded with potassium much more than a banana
  • naturally sterile- water, permeates through the filtering husk
  • containing lauric acid, which is present in human mother’s milk
  • less sodium than sports drinks
  • very high in chloride 

It’s basically the BEST rehydrating beverage out there.  Here we consume them fresh from the coconut with a straw poked through, and very cheaply {about $1.00}

We will miss drinking coconut water on a daily basis.  Its Malu’s absolute favorite. I am aware it is available in the US, but for a hefty price tag.

Not to say I wont buy it.  

As I will.

But  it will be a treat, rather than a daily habit :-(  

 

Beijos, Tanya

    I didn’t realize that coconut juice was so healthy! (Btw, I just can’t bring myself to call it water. If it comes from a fruit, it’s juice, right?! I am not a farmer.)

    I was wondering– could you tell us (me) more about how you got your husband’s visa? If we’re planning to move to the US at the end of 2013, when should we start the process? We’re married here in Brazil but not in the US yet.
    Thanks! :D

    PS: Your daughter is such a cutie-pie!!
