Try Coconut Water – from an actual coconut

 Like I said – I got to mark a lot of firsts off my list on this trip to the Dominican Republic. There’s things I didn’t even know should have been on my list that need to get added. 

This, I’ve wanted to do for quite a while. My husband and I watch a lot of those ‘Alone’ type shows where they have to survive on their own. (supposedly, but either way its still interesting). 

Coconut water is frequently used for hydration on those shows when they cant get their fire working. So, naturally, I had to try this. Sure, we have coconut water in stores, but that’s different. I wanted to try it straight from the coconut. 

Thank you to my dear co-worker for offering me some. It was warm but still good. I like cold water for that ‘refreshing’ feeling, so I can’t say it was super refreshing, but it was tasty.  

Much like the consistency of water, it didn’t leave a residue in your mouth. It had a coconutty taste, but, if you’ve never tried unsweetened coconut or anything remotely natural coconut, you will just have to add this to your own bucket list to have a try.
