Coconut! Who had coconut?!

First of all, I really hope that everyone got that Rat Race reference! If not, then you must take a couple hours of your day and watch that movie- I promise you won't regret it :)
Anyways, I did not get on here to talk about Rat Race. If you have read my previous posts, you heard me talk about coconut water, or "Nature's Sports Drink". It naturally has electrolytes and a TON of potassium, so it is great for a post-workout drink! (or during-workout?). Well, seeing as I am a picky eater, I was not exactly a fan. However, I found fun ways to mix it up by pouring some in my tea or in a smoothie so that I can get all the nutrients without the horrid taste. This morning I decided to try a different flavor and see if it was any better- it's always worth a try!! I grabbed the passion fruit zico from plum market, popped in a straw and sipped it after my workout this morning... WINNER!!! It definitely has won my vote! So I encourage you- if there is a healthy treat that you are not a fan of, keep on trying different flavors or brands, or get creative and mask it into another treat!
