12 reviews before Christmas: 11) Coco water

Looking to kick start the New Year with the best of healthy intentions? Yeah, you and me both! There's something about the start of a new year that just makes you want to chuck out the old and bring in the new habits - even if it's just trying to eat more veggies or move your butt more.

I'm sure 2017 will be no different for me, but my concern is 'wellness'; taking time to care for myself better so I can be a better person all round. As we move from the food induced coma of Christmas (did I mention that it's my favourite time of year?), I'll be dusting off my juicer and getting back into healthy juicing and smoothie making.

And I have a supplement I'll be adding to my (increased) water intake too.

For a few weeks now, I have been trying Coco Minerals from nutritionist brand Proto-col. It's a natural coconut water powder, which aims to be an ultra-hydrating and refreshing drink, ideal if you enjoy intense or frequent exercise and training. 

Well, I go to the occasional yoga class or gym session. Honest.


This powder is easy to add to water or with a splash of juice and is meant to be packed full of vitamins and minerals and can help to replenish your energy levels as it contains natural fruit sugars. 

Here are some of the purported benefits of Coco Minerals:

• A great way to rehydrate during and after sport or exercise.
