The awesome folks at ONE Coconut Water sent me some samples to try and review. I have been a big fan of buying young coconuts, opening and drinking them from the nut itself. It's a bit of a task but sooooo dang tasty! I was excited to try these water since they are very portable and convenient.
I tried the regular ONE Coconut water first. It has a nice sweet taste but you can taste the packaging a bit. I guess after you have had the freshest juice first and then try the packaged product there is something to be desired. I'd definitely grab one for on the go trips though...the benefits are still there:)
I tried the Pink Guava flavor next. It was pretty nice, little tang here and there mixed in with that lovely coconut water sweetness. I prefer the original over this flavor but it's good to have flavor options:)
The last in the flavor trio was Mango. I LOVE Mango's and was seriously stoked to try this flavor. It had a nice light mango taste that went well with the water....not too sweet or fruity. I dislike overkill in drinks but this was a nice flavor balance.
Some amazing benefits of this wonderful water:
Coconut Water- is considered a “universal donor” (1)In World War II and the Vietnam War, coconut water saved many soldiers’ lives. Doctors used coconut water as an intravenous solution to prolong life on the battlefield when IV solutions were in short supply. Coconut water was also injected directly into the blood stream to prevent dehydration.
Coconut Water – An All-Natural Hangover ElixirDrinking an 11oz Coconut Water has the same short term hydrating power as drinking one liter of water (2) and eating one banana – with less carbohydrates and fat.
Coconut Water-“A coconut a day keeps the urologist away” (3)“A coconut a day keeps the urologist away” has become a motto popular in many parts of the world. Medical research has shown that consumption of coconut water to be effective in dissolving kidney stones.
Coconut Water- a natural alternative to Viagra (4) Coconut water stimulates and strengthens reproductive functions, especially in specially in males. In a medical study, women in their mid-sixties reported an increase in their libido after drinking coconut(wohoo) water from young green coconuts.
Coconut Water, the “fluid of life”It is the only potable water available on many small tropical islands.
So there you have it, lots of good benefits, tasty water and very on-the-go friendly. Thank you Jolene and ONE for your generosity.

I will try it but I am not a fan of coconut....ewe....hehehehe
Nothing like drinking fresh coconut water, then cracking it open and eating the pulp.
Two slight issues.
1. I wouldn't drink something because of the makeshift medical uses, it was employed for years ago.
2. I would prefer to consider preventative measures for Kidney Stones, as opposed to restoritative measures.
:-p :-p.
Though whatever it does for you, keep taking it. It seems like a sound enough product, rather than one of those hyped up dissapointing things, with a zillion benefits, only 10% of which deliver tanglible benefit.
Will this lead to you getting modelling work as a giant coconut perhaps ;-) ;-).
Take care and best wishes.

I used to drink coconut water right out of a coconut but this is a much better way to make coconut water. I'd love to win 3 cases of this but if I don't win I'm going to put it on my wishlist at Amazon.
