A Plug for Coconut Water
A couple of weeks ago I received an email offering me a case of CoCoZia coconut water to try. I haven't been offered anything in such a long time. Even though I was not fond of coconut water I thought, "What the heck?" I said yes.
They emailed me an Amazon gift certificate. I ordered online and in a week or so they arrived. Immediately I was offered a case of their chocolate coconut water. Hmmm. That sounds interesting so again I agreed. I have no idea how I the first order was processed because on my second order Amazon.com would not deliver to Canada. Weird. They probably thought Saskatchewan was a city in Alaska or something on my first order.
I wonder if the chocolate coconut order had been delivered if I would continue to receive offers of all their flavours? Coffee, mango, pineapple? Too bad my luck ran out.
Anyhoo, I tried this coconut water. I was fully prepared to not like it but I was pleasantly surprised. I mean it still tastes like coconut water but I thought it was okay. I am not a fan of sweet drinks and this has no sugar. Usually I drink water or milk. I will enjoy my case of coconut water guilt-free. It is only 70 calories in 330 mL. 330 mL is a large serving for me. I would only drink half that at a time.
I have now fulfilled my agreement to post about CoCoZia on my blog. If you like, you can give it a try.
Hmmm is right. It IS supposed to be very good for you. I got some coconut oil to try as a moisturizer since everyone raves about it but it seemed to make my skin red. Will try again to be sure but... everyone is different.
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought into the whole healthy coconut thing. I love coconut in curries and sweet breads. Other than that I have been circumspect.
DeleteI wonder if it would add interesting flavor to baked goods?
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking exactly about that, Marjie. I think I'll try it.
