BODYARMOR Super Drink

Image
If you have a kid in sports, are a runner yourself or work out in any way, some sort of electrolyte drink is probably in your fridge or cooler. Rehydrating is EXTREMELY important after a workout or being out in the field or track for any amount of time in the sun or heat. My husband told me about  BODYARMOR   one day in the grocery store as he was training for a half marathon at the time and he knows I enjoy healthier electrolyte options as a runner myself. So I gave  BODYARMOR   a try   for myself, and was VERY happy that I did. I took the time to compare labels on both bottles of  BODYARMOR  as well as Gatorade, which is one of the most popular athletic drinks. Here is what I found: Gatorade Ingredients for Frost Glacier Freeze Flavor: Water Sugar Dextrose Citric Acid Salt Sodium Citrate Monopotassium Phosphate Modified Food Starch Natural Flavor glycerol ester of rosin blue 1 Note that it has artificial color...

CHOCOLATE Cocozia!

Cocozia did it again! But this time even better! Who knew that chocolate coconut water could TASTE SO GOOD! Well it does now! It almost tastes like chocolate milk, but lighter and healthier! Our family has fallen in love with it - even my picky 4 year old! It comes in a case of 12 - 16.9 oz packages (we are already down to 6! Yikes!) The chocolate coconut water comes in Tetra Pak's for better quality and retained freshness. You can drink it right out of the box or pour into your favorite glass to enjoy. My favorite part about this is that I don't have to add anything; just shake and drink. I don't have to buy fruit or pick herbs to get the desired flavor out of it to mask the actual coconut water taste. Don't get me wrong, I do like plain coconut water, but being able to grab-n-go is much more convenient and my kid actually drinks it; score for me! The ingredients are as follows: Organic coconut water, water, organic coconut milk, organic c...

Cocozia 100% Organic Coconut Water Review & Recipe

Image
I really enjoy coconut water and it is so good for you. I only buy organic coconut water because there is a big difference in flavor if you ask me. Cocozia is USDA Certified Organic and I love the real deal! Cocozia's coconut water is crisp and light and has a great mild flavor. It is a delicious way to hydrate and my favorite time to drink it is before I run a race and after to rehydrate. It is also a perfect way to cool down after being in the sun all day and to help replenish your body with necessary nutrients. It is high in magnesium which is essential to our bodies and also has calcium, iron, phosphorous and potassium. A great way to get electrolytes without added sugar. One of the great things about this coconut water is that you can use it not just for drinking but for baking as well. Use it in breads in place of warm water or in hot oatmeal in the morning. My favorite way is to muddle herbs and fruit in the bottom of a glass and add coconut water to it. Very ta...
