Vitacoco - coconut water, coconut


Click here for more information
Coconut water and me do not mix. I have tried all of the brands out there and was very satisfied with this flavor mix. I know all about the health benefits and try to drink one a day. Much better for you than Sports drinks! If you drink too much alcohol, try this the next morning, it will help with the recovery! This flavor mix was very tasty and does not have a coconut after taste. It has the Passion fruit taste throughout the whole experience. I would recommend since the price is lower here on Amazon!



I love coconut water. It's so refreshing. I've been wanting to try some of the flavored coconut waters and grabbed this when it was on sale.



I'm sorry to say that I didn't like this flavor at all. It had a sour taste to me that I really disliked. I drank down one, but was not happy to think of drinking the other 11! sigh... I gave the rest of them to my brother and I hope he enjoyed the flavor more than I did. I wont be getting this flavor again.

Bought this to replace gatorade and all the other sports drinks that are loaded with sugar, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors and all that other junk. This is so satisfying to drink and doesn't make you sick, you can feel the difference when you drink something so good. Lovin' it!!!!

I ordered both the coconut water and coconut water with passion fruit. I honestly was expecting to like the plain coconut water better because I'm used to having fresh coconut water, but the coconut water with passion fruit was good. There's a real passion fruit taste present in the drink and it brightens up the drink without being too overwhelming. It's definitely a great drink to have to start or end the day.

While myself and my sister are undergoing treatment for cancer, was advised to try this product Vita Coco Coconut water, what a difference it made immediately.

Hydration is so important while undergoing radiation, or chemo ,

Vita Coco, fits right into a program to help hydrate and keep your vital organs, protected.



Will drink it forever.

Thanks Jene Fielder

Great option for those who don't like the taste of plain coconut water. The passion fruit is delicious and it tastes best when served ICE COLD. Love to drink this before, during and post workout. Besides being a great hydrating tool, it helps avoid cramping as well.

Coconut water is high in potassium and a natural electrolyte. It helps to rehydrate you much faster than Gatorade only wishes it could. Depending on what you are used to drinking, you may love or hate coconut water. I think that it's a matter of getting used to a different taste more than it being "bad" or "gross." If you go into it thinking you're going to be drinking juice, think again. This is more a watered down juice-like drink, but it has much less sugar and doesn't give a sugar shock that leaves you wishing for more to drink.



My whole family enjoys this brand and this specific flavor combo. We all do not enjoy plain ole coconut water and really liked the juice-like taste of this flavor. It works for us, but your family may enjoy another flavor better. I would try several flavors before deciding on one or none at all. I had this as a Subscribe & Save item for over a year, until Amazon told me I no longer could buy it that way. I was devastated.



I searched on Amazon to see if I could find something comparable. After ordering the O.N.E. Coconut Water with a Splash of Passion Fruit, 8.5-Ounce Aseptic Containers (Pack of 12) a month ago, I, as well as another family member, finally decided to try one today. We both had the same reaction..."this doesn't taste as good as the brand we had been drinking." Hence my coming to Amazon tonight to write a review of the O.N.E. product... Now I wish I hadn't ordered 3 whole boxes of it! I thought @ $10/box of 12 I couldn't go wrong. Hmm, maybe I was wrong!



But enough of O.N.E. Coconut Water with Passion Fruit, Vita Coco Coconut Water with Passion Fruit tastes so much better! If you're sick and feeling dehydrated, this is what you need. If you've just done a big workout and nothing can quench your thirst, this is what you need. If you're feeling a little run done or have a headache that just won't quit, this is what you need.



Luckily, my dislike of O.N.E. brand led me back to Amazon to see that I could once again order Vita Coco Coconut Water with Passion Fruit as a Subscribe & Save. Comparably, the price difference is negligible: ounce for ounce it is just about the same. I only wish I hadn't been ousted before! - Coconut Water - Coconut - Delicious - Sports Drink - Vitacoco - Cooking

Fibromyalgia - vitacoco, acai


Click here for more information
I have tried all the flavors of Vita Coca and this one is the BEST !!



This brand is much better than ONE or Zito.



Fyi.. a great way to try all the flavors is with the variety pack.



I like to save an extra 15% and get this shipped once per month. I drink

them after a working out and since I work out about 5 days a week,2

12 packs of drinks works out about right.



With vita cocoa...being healthy takes GREAT !



Very Smooth taste. To me, this acai & pomegranate is very good. The pineapple flavor is still my favorite, with the acai second, and the mango peach is my least favorite of the 3 flavors.



This flavor is light and refreshing, like water with a smooth berry and coconut flavor added. It doesn't taste phony either. It is 100% natural and it tastes natural. Too good to be just flavored water. It tastes more like a light fruit juice. I had mine chilled. It is imported from Brazil. A plastic twist-off cap allows you to stick in a straw easily, without hammering the package to punch it through. A single package is about 6 inches high, with 3 inch diagonal square shape.



One paper coated package contains 17 fluid ounces/500 ml, marked as 2 servings. Per serving stats are 60 calories (so 120 calories total per package), 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 30mg sodium, 515 mg potassium, 15g sugar, 4 % calcium, 4 % phosphorus, 180 % vitamin C, 8 % magnesium, 1 g protein. Ingredients, as listed in order on package are: natural coconut water, mango puree, peach puree, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The package states it is 100 % natural, has more electrolytes than leading sports drinks with 15 times the potassium, and has more potassium than 2 bananas.



So--- it is good, refreshing, healthy, easily packable, and easily openable. (It's ok. I can make up words. I work for the government.) I really like the high potassium content, too. (Note--I am NOT a doctor.) As the sweltering East Coast heat and humidity approaches, potassium helps with the fluid you lose. Whether you are on fluid pills, or working outside in the eat, or running and jogging for your health, or hiking, or your children are playing and running in the heat, it's a real good idea to keep those potassium levels up. Low potassium levels, as I understand it, can be harmful, leading to cramps in your legs or worse--maybe even making you pass out. Anyway, this is good and it sure tastes a lot better to me than Gatoraid (yuk). So, check it out, and read up on "potassium" before the heat gets here.

This was so gross!! I actually had tried the peach/mango flavor before this one and thought nothing could be as bad as that one, but this one was even worse. I couldn't even taste coconut in it. Just grossness.

I found this to taste stale and perhaps like drinking liquid cardboard. I've had the original, unflavored Vita Coco (like it better than original, unflavored O.N.E. and very tolerable for unflavored) and Tangerine Vita Coco (superb!). This is a HUGE disappointment in comparison. I used to love the Acai coconut water offered by Hudson Bay, but I can no longer find it. That was my favorite drink ever! I'm not sure if it is the pomegranate that makes it taste rather lousy, but I was wholly disappointed. There is a pleasant fruity aftertaste, but it is ever so slight and nearly undetectable. I'll pass on another purchase of this again.

I suffer from Fibromyalgia as well as other Auto-Immune Problems and decided to give this a try to see if the potassium might help with some of my muscle pain. I have tried all of the flavors and the Vita Coco Coconut Water with Acai & Pomegranate is my favorite! (The plain is my second favorite.) It's like a mini-treat to break up my day and I have seen a difference in the amount of pain I have been experiencing as well as it helping me with the "dry mouth" effects that my medication causes.

I am not a medical doctor - but as someone that suffers from chronic pain - I would highly recommend at least giving this a try if you are in the same boat as I am.

It takes a little while to get used to the taste - but once you do - you actually look forward to having it each day. *Hint: I have found that by putting it into the freezer for a little bit it turns into a tasty slushy that is AWESOME!

I love vita coco and this drink is great but with horrible after taste. This flavor has more potassium( 21% vs 19%) than the pineapple flavor so this was the main reason for me trying this. The flavor is great while drinking but the after taste is horrible. Its mostly acai flavor after taste and Im not a big fan of acai. The acai basically over powers the pomergranate and coconut but its still a refeshing flavor. Overall I would not by this flavor again if I had the chance. Hopefully the tangerine one comes back so I can give that one a try. - Vitacoco - Acai - Coconut - Health - Delicious - Fibromyalgia

Frustration-fre - vitacoco, sports drink


Click here for more information
I can drink a couple of these a day! I am glad the 17oz comes with a cap. Easier to store them once you open a pack. I've ordered VitaCoco, One and Zico. I find VitaCoco brand to have the best flavor. Best served chilled.

I bought three cases of these on Fri and it was at my door step today (Monday) with my prime account. Had a problem with one of the box. Upon opening the amazon box, I see that one of the case was already opened and few of packs were damaged and leaking. I called Amazon right away and they resolved it right away.

As the title says, great product and great service! thanks amazon.



In response to a previous reviewer who questioned the potassium content of the coconut water, please see the product description: "High in potassium, fat free, cholesterol free, and low in acidity, no sugar, Contains five essential electrolytes--potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and phosphorous" -- which makes coconut water a superior pre- or post-workout drink compared to other popular sugar-laden, artificial color-added ones (you know who you are). I drink my Vita Coco chilled either right from the box to quench my thirst after a long run or I mix it into a delicious, awesomely nutritious smoothie with frozen bananas, papayas, strawberries, mangoes...whatever fruit you have on hand. You can also make a super-nutritious green smoothie by simply adding a tablespoon of Greener Grasses or Vitamineral Green to a cup of the coconut water and giving it a good whirl in the Vita-Mix. Excellent! And with Amazon's free shipping and subscription discounts, the value can't be beat.

I bought a lot of boxes of vita coco from Amazon these past few months due to the sale/special offers lately. 2 boxes (both were the small size) tasted great! (1 carton had a weird taste).



I said whatever and bought the larger size. YUCK! I drank the first two and they tasted sour. I compared them side by side with the other vita coco I had (the smaller cartons) and these taste really different. I opened a few more to try, and some were okay, and others sour.



UGH. I don't care how good some of these boxes are! If they vary this much, it's not worth it to me to try again.



*Edited to add:

I emailed vita coco and told them about this and they told me they had a bad batch. The rep then mailed me a free box of 12 cartons. This batch was good! (They sent me some funky flavors instead of the original though...still nice of them).

I prefer this resealable package over the 11oz..and by the way, the other reviewers are mad!

Perhaps they have never had fresh BRAZILIAN coco water before and are used to asian coco water which is sugary and watered down and completely industralized. I am from north of Brazil and can tell you this is what fresh young brazilian coconut water should taste like.

And how can anyone complain about the packaging? Makes no sense. Who could dislike a resealable, environmental friendly package!?

Overall, I am very satisfied and will continue to order this brand on subscribe and save. 3 boxes a month.

I grew up in southern India where water from tender coconut is sold by street vendors and it is drunk straight from the coconut. It is the most refreshing drink, containing electrolytes for very hot weathers over there. Gatorade and other artificial drinks are very poor substitutes.



After having tried the canned coconut waters available in Asian stores, I had given up on coconut water for a decade until I chanced upon these. They are expensive, but it is amazing that one could bottle "authenticity"! No artificial additives, no sugars, no pulps, nothing!



It is so good that I don't want to try the mixed varieties that they have. Nothing but pure coconut water for me.

I ordered three 12-packs so there were three shipping package for my order. The first two 12 packs came ontime as expected. However, one of the bottom have mole growing out of it so it have to be thrown away.



The third product made it to my city and then return to the supply. Then it was reship to me next day (free of charge from Amazon). However, I only received 8 packs instead of the 12 packs.



The product quality is pretty lousy compared to other coconut juice products I tried. I figure that I give this one a try. It look like somebody went through and open up all the box which made me afraid to drink it sometimes.



The taste really do not taste like real coconut. I expect more from 100% coconut. It was pretty cheap to begin with but I think that I would go with other products.

I love Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water, especially on a hot day. It is the best "sports drink" you can get, because it does "hydrate every cell in your body." It is a pure, unadulterated, unmanipulated healthy drink, that perks you up. The 17oz. size is handy to take along in the car or pack for lunch. Great for leg cramps cuz of the high potasium content. Better than a banana and less calories. Better than water - totally quenches thirst!!! - Vitacoco - Sports Drink - Coconut - Health - Vita Coco - Nutrition
