I am a nut for health related products.

I’m happy to first seek alternative forms of therapy before entering the cold, depressing rooms of a doctor’s surgery, I’m a vegetarian because I believe it is healthier for our bodies, Spirulina is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’m all for practicing meditation and yoga daily.

So when I was given the chance to participate in a Product Talk by Nuffnang to review Cocobella Coconut Water, I shot my fist in the air, jumped up and down with shouts of,

“Me Please. Me please.”

I’ve known about the benefits of coconuts, and coconut juice for a long time. Living in Thailand and spending a year or two travelling the South East Asian region has taught me that coconut water has powerful health benefits.

Some of the benefits include super hydration, speeding up your metabolism, boosting the immune system and balancing the body’s PH.

Cocobella Coconut Water has been dubbed “nature’s own sport drink” offering the ultimate hydration. It is naturally rich in electrolytes, with 3 times as much as leading sports drinks.

Cocobella Coconut Water comes in 4 varieties: “Straight up” which is 100% pure coconut water, and three fruit juice blends: pineapple, mango and pink guava.

Is Cocobella Coconut Water for Me?

Absolutely!!

I love it. It is refreshing, light and tasty, and the biggest plus is that I know I am putting good health into my body.

What I loved about Cocobella is that I was getting my juice fix, which never came with that sweet, acidity after taste. It was pure, non-sugary goodness.

The mango flavour floated my boat the most, giving me that tropical feel that goes nicely with coconuts. The “straight up” flavour was a little hard to drink as its flavour is very strong and unusual. I was expecting that as I have had young green coconut juice before.

There is one major caveat I must tell you though,

Cocobella Coconut Juice will cause arguments with your children.

In an effort to be a good sharing caring mother, I offered for Kalyra to share my juice with me.

After one sip, she ran off with it and refused to let me have any more of her juice. A battle ensued which ended up her on the floor in tantrum fits, demanding I get my own Coconut juice.

We had a quiet conversation and by the time pineapple tasting  rolled around after two days of me making her patiently wait, she became a wonderful coconut-juice-sharing friend.

Cocobella is the newest rage of celebs who are making it the coolest drink to sip on this summer.

I was hoping to add my cool factor to the list by sipping on the Pink Guava during labour!

Oh how our child birthing plans change once those contractions hit!!

I had to settle for the in-hospital look a day later.

Cocobella Coconut Water can be purchased at Coles, Woolies, Fitness First, and independent retailers. Cocobella is $3 per 250ml pack
