Ahhhh!  I can’t believe the Women’s Wellness Weekend is only 5 days away.  So needless to say this week is going to be crazy and I probably won’t be spending as much time online as I’d like.  So I’m leaving you with a quick post and arranging for a guest post later this week that I think everyone will enjoy.  It’s based on a conversation I had with a great new friend who helped me see that I can still take advantage of all the great deals out there AND stay committed to buying whole, clean foods.

Now back to this post.  I don’t know about you, but every time I open a book or magazine lately I’m reading about the benefits of coconut water.  I bought some at Whole Foods last week, but kind of forgot I had it so I haven’t been drinking it.  I did taste it and it was pretty good.  Not too coconuty like I thought it might be.  Today, I saw that Kroger had a 10/$10 deal on O.N.E coconut water.  This sounds like the perfect opportunity to give it a try and see if it holds up to the claims. 

Here’s what they’re (I don’t know who they are, but let’s assume they’re someone credible for now) saying about coconut water:

• Natural isotonic beverage
• Healthier than whole milk with no cholesterol
• Packed with natural sugars, salts and vitamins making it a natural energy drink that combats fatigue
• It’s said that regular consumption can naturally improve immunity, increase metabolism, and detoxify the body.
• Regular consumption is also said to help regulate digestion and intestinal function.
• Identical to human blood plasma (I’ve read it’s been used for blood transfusions in war)

Do you drink coconut water?  Are you planning to try it?  I’d love to hear what you think and how it’s working for you.  Don’t forget to take advantage of the Kroger deal if you’ve been thinking about giving coconut water a try.  I’m headed there tomorrow to pick up my 10.  I’m going to get my sis to try it with me this week.  (So excited to have her visiting from California for the conference!!! )
