Click here for more information Zico's taste is the best of all the pre-packaged young coconut water I've tried. Nothing beats fresh young coconut water straight out of the coconut, but this comes close to the flavor. Don't waste your time on canned coconunt water - it's awful IMO. Zico has a lower sugar content than the other brands I've sampled (14gms/serving vs. 20gms/seving). It is isotonic, high in potassium and rich in electrolytes. You can practically live on it! If you have an upset stomach, it settles it immediately. I have an aunt who was hospitalized and unable to eat. Her potassium levels were very low. She was able to drink this and keep it down. It helped improve her postassium levels and settled her nausea. A friend of my 9 yrs. old son's had a "tummy" ache while we were at the state fair. I happened to have a Zico in my purse and gave it to him. He loved it. His stomach ache ceased and we were able to enjoy our time at the fair.

I just tried this flavor. Clear and cold with just a trace of flavoring and not too sweet - adult taste, not a kiddie juice drink. There is no strong coconut flavor or aroma.



Zico makes a great novelty mixer (vodka & bourbon too) but seems a bit pricey for daily use.

Excellent. One of the few food items I've found on here that I think I'll buy again. Remember that it's best chilled/ice cold, if you're ever gonna sample it. Not so good when not so cold, great when actually cold. Very refreshing feel either way, though, after you've had a drink.

A friend recently introduced me to coconut water and it was a hard sell - In general, I don't like coconut at all. While I was skeptical, I agreed to at least give it a try. I first tried O.N.E. Coconut Water, 11-Ounce Aseptic Containers (Pack of 12) and found that it was pretty okay, if I drank it over ice.



Then I started reading more about the hydrating benefits of coconut water as well as the similarity to components in breast milk. Being pregnant just this moment, I decided any boost to my eventual milk production would be welcome. So I tried this product and liked the flavor MUCH better than plain coconut water. I highly recommend it to anyone as a healthful beverage and particularly to those women who are, like me, "in the family way."

It's great to have an energy beverage that is truly healthy and free of unnecessary additives. It replenishes the body better and faster than water. After working out, I head straight for the Zico in my refrigerator!

The first time I tried this coconut water I thought it was kind of bland. It is not super sweet and the flavor is subtle. However, after a workout one day I tried it and it was wonderfully refreshing! It quenches your thirst like cool water, and the extra boost of electrolytes brings your strength back.

Crisp when chilled and refreshing without synthetic flavorings or added sucrose, Zico is the packaged beverage my yard men prefer. The smart-paper carton packaging created less bulk waste than canned drinks, and nature's own engineering packs this fruit punch with five electrolytes, the most overtly critical of which is potassium. I didn't think I would like this product but bought it because I cannot quite manage the full-time taste for spring water and herbal tea my yoga regime suggests. VERY helpful for those weaning themselves off alcohol and conventional mystery soda-pop.

This product tastes fine. HOWEVER, at $2.00 per box, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too expunsive....$1.00, maybe $1.25 tops. ZICO, VOULME, VOLUME, VOLUME! I bought these cheap from AMAZON over BLACK FRIDAY. AMAZON, sell these at my prices above and I will order these from you on a subscription basis. But not at $2.00.

My kids enjoy drinking this, and the passion fruit flavor is a refreshing change to plain coconut water. I give my children coconut water instead of fruit juices because it is so much more nutritious, and we also drink it as a rehydrant when we are ill instead of Gatorade or Pedialyte. We have tried Zico, VitaCoco, and O.N.E. coconut water. Zico is my favorite in terms of flavor diversity, and O.N.E. is my favorite in terms of packaging because each drinking box includes a small extendable straw to poke through the foil and use like a juice box- a VERY NICE non-spill feature for kids.

Not sure if I would buy this again- Didn't really enjoy the taste but its good for you, and made my body feel good after a workout- Must have chilled, horrible room temp- It was ok for coconut water I suppose, interested in trying other brands :) - Gd Food - Health - Electrolytes - Natural - Organic - Food

2009 Amazon Frustration-fre - protein powder, whey

Click here for more information I have worked in a nutrition store and have tried dozens if not hundreds of different proteins. This one has been the best and doesn't have any of the artificial sweetners and other ingredients which can cause digestion problems. It mixes easily and has a very versatile and enjoyable taste. It is probably best as a postworkout or early morning protein source due to its rapid digestion. I will often take along with some fish oils or flax oil to lower the glycemic index and resulting insulin response. Amazon, especially with free shipping and 15% subscription discount, has by far the best price!

I'm a woman and not a body builder, but I love this protein powder for a super quick breakfast or an evening snack. It gives you clean burning energy, so to speak, without the blood sugar crash of candy bars or other less than optimal snack products. It dissolves well with some vigorous shaking in any sealed container--I just use an ordinary bowl-shaped tupperware container.



It contains no fructose, and is barely sweetened with stevia extract. That's fine because I can add my own sources of sweetness in the form of organic soy milk that I buy in bulk from Costco. I had my family try it and they couldn't tell this apart from ordinary ovaltine or chocolate soy milk. Even if you're using water or milk, unless you're hyper vigilant about sugar intake, adding a bit of your own sweetener (I hate artificial sweeteners, I'd rather add raw, real sugar) would still bring your sugar intake far below most of those other "protein shake" products out in the market while still delivering a dose of high quality protein (whey is superior to all other sources of popularly available protein powders according to the sources I've researched).

After spending hours comparing nutritional information labels on a dozen diffrent brands of powders, I decided on this one for obvious reasons. It replaces alot of ingredients with natural ones, and costs only about 46 cents per serving, yet has an impressive 24 grams of protein per serving. That's really the bottom line why you should choose this product.



I got the chocolate. Threw it in a glass of water, and was VERY surprised that after stirring for about 30 seconds with just a spoon, it had almost completely disolved. You dont even need a shaker for this. As far as the taste well, theres no sweetener, and almost no sugar or fat. So of course it doesnt taste like a freakin milkshake. It's really good for you. Im sure in milk (which adds fat and sugar) it will taste great but i wont be doing that personally.



I wrote this review half a year ago, and the price has gone way up since then. It is still a great product, but not the huge value it was back when i got it $10 cheaper.

This product seems ok so far. I'm by no means an expert on health supplements, but I took the advice of someone who seems to know a lot about bodybuilding who suggested this product. If you're interested in this product, and health and fitness generally, check this guy out, scooby1961 is his YouTube account name. He has a website and many videos full of helpful nutrition and exercise information. No, I'm not in any way related nor do I know him personally, I'm just a member of his audience. He recommended this whey protein as it is 100% natural, something he points out is preferrable. I enjoy the taste and flavor, I went with vanilla because I don't just drink this with milk or water, I put it with other ingredients in the blender and make shakes or smoothies, whatever you might call them. I'll do 1 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt, two teaspoons artificial sweetner, about 1 cup ice, 140 grams (recommended serving size) of frozen fruit that I defrost in the microwave about 1 minute to blend well, and finally 1 scoop of this protein powder. This makes 4-5 cups and between 355 and 385 calories, no fat. I have been using this as my first meal of the day for about 5 weeks now, so far so good. I realize this is probably more info than anyone reading this might have been after, but I thought I'd include for the heck of it, maybe it's helpful for someone out there. Take care.

I love this Whey Protein! It really tastes great, I usually mix it with vanilla soy milk or 2% milk and it tastes great either way. I have been using this for a few weeks and have noticed my muscles getting harder and bigger (with light workouts) and am very happy with the results so far. I have been drinking between 1 and 2 shakes a day, usually 1. The great thing about this shake is I have it before bed sometimes (I work out a little before bed) and it fills that sweet craving a lot of people have before bed. Great thing too is that it has very low calorie and carb content compared to some shakes. As others have said, it does change the way your bowel movements smell (gives them a distinct smell) not a terrible one but a distinct one. I know this is kind of gross but I thought I would let people know. Another issue (that isn't that big of a deal) when I bought this it was ~50 bucks at GNC but now they are having a sale on these older flavors (I think rich double chocolate etc are the new ones, I bought Chocolate) for about the same price ~30$, I think it's some sale but its still a great price on amazon. I would highly recommend buying this and a shaker. - Protein Powder - Whey - Whey Powder - Optimum Nutrition - Bodybuilding - Natural

Soy Milk - health, natural

Click here for more information I have been drinking Soy Milk for about 18 years. I don't think there is a single soy product in the grocery, natural food, organic food stores that I have not tried. Recently I found that my favorite Silk Soy had cross contamination from coconut & almonds both of which I am highly allergic to. After a trip to the ER I went on a quest for another product and purchased Soy Dream from amazon. I purchased three (3) cases and not one was broken unlike the other reviewer.



For Baking I use West Soy Unsweetend as who wants their scalloped potatoes sweetened. For those of you who bake & cook Soy acts just like milk in cakes, scalloped dishes, etc. I never use milk.



But for my cereal, a pick me up during the day, to drink with my evening snack I use Soy Dream. The taste is great and it has a little more substance than other soy products. I often drink a half a box for a lift during the day when I am busy.



I heartily recommend it. My husband drinks it too and loves it on his cereal and uses it also for his Oatmeal Muffin snack in the evening.



Amazon's shipping is great on this product and as a prime member I receive mine in two days.

In the first place, I am completely satisfied with the taste of this product. As said by another reviewer, the taste is quite milky and not beany at all. In addition, the price is comparatively cheap.



What frustrates me is the terrible shipping. When I got the package, 2 boxes were leaking and all my other products in the package were drenched! I cannot imagine what kind of shipping service can cause 2 well-packed boxes to leak?





If shipping service could be improved, I recommend this product to anyone who likes milky drinks.

Of all the soy milks I've tried, this is the best tasting one, the one that tastes most like milk, not beany at all. This is what I put on my cereal. I particularly dislike the vanilla-flavored milks on cereal.

I've been an avid drinker of Silk, probably the biggest brand name of soymilk, for years. I would use the unflavored Silk for cooking, the very vanilla for cereal, and just drink the chocolate as a stand alone drink.



Always curious to try new products, I gave this one a shot but was expecting a taste similar to the unflavored Silk. This is, by far, the best tasting soymilk I've ever tried. It has a natural sweetness, but it's not so sweet that it would prohibit it from being used for any recipe.



I will definitely be be purchasing this product again, probably quite frequently. My days of drinking Silk are over. - Health - Natural - Organic - Soy Milk
