Cook rice, quinoa with coconut water
For a more flavorful rice or quinoa dish, replace the water with coconut water. The natural, subtle sweetness of the coconut that seeps into the grain during cooking will enhance the flavor and aroma of the dish.
Mix into smoothie
Replacing water or milk in smoothies or daily meals will help increase the nutritional content of this drink. The electrolytes in coconut water can help replenish the body, while providing a little natural sweetness. Coconut smoothies with fruits, vegetables and protein powder are a healthy, nutritious dish that many people love.
Mix with fresh fruit juice
Instead of drinking plain juice, try mixing coconut water with homemade juices. Adding coconut water to orange, apple, pineapple, watermelon or any other juice will add hydration and flavor and nutrients to the drink.
Make coconut popsicles
Freeze coconut water into popsicles for a refreshing and cooling treat during hot weather or after a workout. Add some of your favorite fruit, like berries or sliced tropical fruit, to enhance the flavor. These homemade popsicles are not only a fun snack, but also a great way to boost your hydration and nutrient intake.
Make sauce
Combining coconut water with citrus juice, herbs, and spices creates a flavorful marinade for meat or tofu. You can also use coconut water as a salad dressing to add a refreshing flavor to your dish.
