Crazy for Coconut

I've recently started added more coconut drinks into my diet. I couldn't be happier.

Constantly on the go, I attempt to drink as much water as I can but I don't always make it to the recommended eight glasses. I tend to reach for coffee during the day just to stay abreast with my busy schedule.

I've started adding coconut water and coconut milk to my diet in an attempt to rehydrate. It's definitely refreshing and I enjoy the mildly nutty taste. I appreciate the large amount of potassium (equivalent to that of four bananas--which I don't often eat) which aids in building muscle and balancing your bodies pH levels. I find it a satisfying way to cap off my dinner.

Coconut milk has most recently replaced almond milk in my morning cereal, although don't get me wrong, I am still a fan of almond milk. I appreciate the fiber, which helps you to feel fuller faster (which also aids in weight management), as well as the copper levels (promotes skin elasticity aka youthful looking skin) and the fact that it helps prevent anemia (common in women).
