Freshest drink ever
»
I am woman born in a Caribbean island who grew up drinking natural coconut water right out of the coconuts. Since moving north I have not been able to find a coconut water that has come close to tasting like the real thing, since now that is.... This is the next best thing... nothing artificial about it... when chilled is a most satisfying refreshing drink ever....

O.N.E. Coconut Water is an excellent post-exercise drink. Immediately after exercise, the body is craving sugars. O.N.E. Coconut Water provides that natural sugar boost as well as five other electrolytes. Coconut water has more potassium than a banana. Again, another great reason to try O.N.E. Coconut Water. It's very low in calories and has a light taste. I like it so much that I am on Amazon's scheduled delivery program for this product. It's so good that sometimes (twice) I have had to move up the delivery date to receive it sooner. It's better than Gatorade (5 electrolytes) and bananas (less calories).

Amazing!

Delicious, healthy and cheaper than Gatorade and other artificial beverages. America should embrace the taste of the tropics.

no flavor

Hardly any coconut taste. It's more like sweet water. Would not purchase again. Vita Coco and Zico much better. Two stars because it still has the benefits of coconut water.

A great alternative for the calorie conscious!
»
I have always been calorie-conscious and drank diet soda on a regular basis. After a study in Purdue noted that rats gained more weight with artificial sweeteners than natural sugar (article cited below) I began to rethink the diet soda plan. Coconut water is a great alternative to regular soda and juice... O.N.E. has only 60 calories compared to at least twice that with soda/juice -- plus, no artificial sweeteners. It's definitely not as sweet but you get used to it... now, regular soda tastes too sweet to me.
I have had numerous canned coconut water beverages purchased in Asian food stores. They were all processed with added sweeteners and preservatives with a very obvious unnatural taste. O.N.E., however tastes great! Very close to the coconuts that I've had in India and the Caribbean islands. I do like Coco Vita better (also available here on Amazon) as it has less of an aftertaste. I've found both taste best when they are cool but not cold... I let them sit outside the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before I start drinking.
