I have a renewed obsession with coconut water.

But this isn’t any old coconut water. It’s Yoga Earth Coconut Water Purity which is a coconut water powder that comes in an individual serving making it portable without a need to refrigerate! (I don’t know about you but coconut water needs to be ice-cold!)

Mainly I drink it after a hot yoga class and I can tell how much it helps me re-hydrate. When I don’t drink coconut water, I’m really thirsty the rest of the day. When I drink a coconut water after class my thirst levels are normal. That is my scientific study.

Love:

• that it is portable – I’ve been taking it to yoga to drink after class
• it goes through airport security, so I was able to stay hydrated during holiday travel
• the flavor – it is incredible!
• that the strength can be altered depending on your preference

Wish:

• it was sold in stores! Right now, it can be purchased online or at various yoga studios

At a food show a few months ago, I tried- and loved - Earth Balance’s new Coconut Spread. It is now in stores, have you seen it?

I really enjoy coconut oil as a toast topping but this Coconut Spread is a great way to introduce coconut oil into your diet if you’ve been a little hesitant until now. It spreads just like butter and can be used in place of butter.

Like:

• great coconut flavor
• versitale: can use for baking, cooking, spreading and in place of butter
• vegan, soy-free, gluten-free and non-GMO
• all of the recipe ideas on their website (Coconut Spread Recipe Ideas)
• comes packaged like other butter alternatives

Wish:

• I have no wishes…that is a first! The only thing that I’m unsure about is that I’m not sure there is a need to have both coconut oil and coconut spread…
