Passion Fruit Variety Pack | |  | | The Beauty of One Ingredient: Coconut Water Vita Coco is about hydration, and hydration is important no matter what you do. So while other beverages claim to be the before-, during-, and after-sports hydrator, Vita Coco is the hydrator made without added sugars, artificial sweeteners, or pick-me-ups. In fact, the beauty of Vita Coco is that it's made with 100% pure coconut water from young, green Brazilian coconuts. The coconuts that are used to make Vita Coco drinks are young, green coconuts -- each one cracked by hand -- from northern Brazil that have an average age of about seven months, which is the best age to extract coconut water because it's still fat-free. Hydrate Naturally with Five Essential Electrolytes Sure, you may not be a marathon runner, a football player or Tour de France winner, but your every day life is hectic enough--you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport! Loaded with the five essential electrolytes that your body craves -- including potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous -- Vita Coco has what it takes to keep you hydrated and refreshed throughout your busy day. In fact, each serving of Vita Coco has more electrolytes and 15 times more potassium than the leading sports drink, and more potassium than two bananas (about 700 mg of potassium is in each 11.2-ounce serving size). These electrolytes work to keep the body cool, help boost poor circulation, replenish your body's fluids after exercising, and aid in the detoxification process while boosting your immune system. This cholesterol- free, fat- free and pucker-free drink can also help soothe an upset stomach, and when paired with a healthy diet, it can even promote weight loss. All this from a single, natural ingredient, and without any artificial sweeteners or added sugars. 11.2-Ounce Tetra Pak with Peel-Away Opening The perfect solution for an on-the-go lifestyle, the 11.2-ounce Tetra Paks give you just the right amount of Vita Coco to get you through your next task. A convenient peel-away opening makes it easier than ever to access the great taste and benefits of Vita Coco wherever you go. What's in the Box Pack of 12 11.2-ounce Tetra Paks of pure coconut water (134 Total Ounces).
 | The Vita Coco Story One evening in a Manhattan bar in February 2003, childhood friends, Ira Liran and Michael Kirban, were speaking with a couple of girls they had just met from Brazil. When asked what they missed most about their country, one of the girls, without hesitation, answered "agua de coco." Coconut water, she explained, is the most nutritious and delicious drink in the world. The rest, as they say, is history. Two years later, the two successfully brought Vita Coco to market in a handful of stores along the East Coast. Since that fateful night in Soho in 2003, Vita Coco has not only carved a new market in the non-carbonated beverage business and redefined the alternative sports beverage category, but has also created the one of the fastest growing lifestyle beverages in North America. Now available in over 10,000 retail stores nationally, Vita Coco is a major beverage brand with a cult-like brand loyalty. |  |

Something's Wrong... November 21, 2009 Dorothy Rosa (Hill Country, Texas) We were prepared to like this, but had the same experience as other reviewers giving one star for this product. The flavor's off, unpleasant. Something's wrong with the "best-by" March 2009 batch, or at least with the shipment we received. Caveat emptor!
healthy? but................... November 18, 2009 D. Jackson (California USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're expecting,as I was, some delicious sweet tropical paradise drink....this ain't it.
It tastes OK but was not at all what I was expecting. Never having drunk coconut water directly from a
coconut I guess I thought that it would be like Hawaiian Punch times 10.
Yes,I note that it appears to be healthy with lots of potassium(680 mg) and no fat
but it kinda tastes like flat water that's had a coconut soaked in it.
Not horrible but far from great.
It Is Good For You But the Taste is AWFUL! November 18, 2009 kindred spirit (God's Country) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Before ordering this I went to the company website and read all about it. I liked that it boosts the immune system and aids in weight loss. I drink acai and pomegranate juice daily so I figured I would love this. I've been trying to think of a way to describe the taste and the best I can do is drinking the juice from a can of heavy syrup peaches after it sat for days open in the fridge. It is really sweet. Natural no added sugar but still so sweet it almost gags me.
I give 5 stars for the health values, but the taste is a 1 star at best, thus the 3 star rate. I will drink them as they are too costly to pitch. I think I'll add it to grape juice to kill the taste.
Today I tried it with 1/2 grape juice and it it drinkable.
much better than gatorade and natural November 18, 2009 B. Santos (nyc) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This stuff really works! I started drinking vita coco after a friend of mine who does yoga with me introduced me to it a couple of years ago. prior to learning about coconut water, i would hydrate myself post-yoga with plain water, which seemed to do the trick just fine. Then I tried a vitacoco..
I instantly felt the energy i had lost in my hot yoga class return to me. I was so shocked that i began researching the benefits of coconut water and was impressed that it has 15 times more potassium than gatorade, less sodium, fewer calories per serving, and best part: fat free and cholesterol free! A natural energy drink with 1 ingredient had me sold!
So instead of buying 2 bottles of water (which i feel silly about anyway since i can get it for free out of my tap), or buying crappy artificial sports drinks for my kids, now i and my family drink a vitacoco instead and feel great. and besides, its not like i can climb a tree in nyc and get free coconuts. maybe if i lived in brazil :)
Tasty and Nutritious November 17, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I tried the variety pack, which I think includes all the flavors except the acai. Both my husband and I like these to take with our lunches or to drink at breakfast instead of orange juice. Or any other time, really! The coconut water has a lot of potassium, which is good for you, too. The flavors are nice and not overdone. Another reviewer said that the containers did not come with straws. They do not use straws at all; just peel the silver tab off and drink from the container. I haven't had any issues with spilling the drinks while drinking from the container, and I'm a bit of a klutz.
