Koh Coconut Water

I enjoy drinking coconut water, it's refreshing and it's relatively healthier than juices. Zico has to be my favorite coconut water brand after trying so many different ones on the market ( my least liked has to be VitaCoco). So we have been buying our coconut water from Costco mainly because they have it there and it's cheaper than the supermarket, but Zico is not always avaliable at the store. Well it is online but they are sold per PALLET! Yes you saw it right!

So recently Koh coconut water is on sale at Costco. We were skeptical to try because some coconut water taste very acidic, cooked, and tasted nothing like a fresh coconut with clean, naturally sweet taste. But we decided to give it a try and to our surprised it tastes as good, if not better, as Zico. It was so good that we bought 4 boxes of 6. Lol.

What I love about this drink:

• It's taste like I'm drinking it out from a coconut
• It's not from concentrate
• Inexpensive (because it was on sale @Costco)

What I don't like about this drink:

• Nothing really!! I love this drink!

Cheers,

Lemonint- Mint Infused Strawberry Lemonade

http://lemonint.com/

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for strawberry lemonade. I got completely hooked every since having it for the first time at Cheesecake Factory, and I can't resist ordering it every single time I visit the restaurant.

Anyway, I came across Lemonint Strawberry lemonade today at Berkeley Bowl. My initial feeling when I saw it was, it looks a bit dark like a tea than "normal" strawberry lemonade. But I was interested in the "mint infused" part, so I give it a try. 

Overall, it tastes like a super sweet mint drink with a trace of lemon and strawberry taste. While I like that the mint flavor is refreshing, the sweetness has made the drink very cloying. And the fact that it lacks any lemonade feel (lemony and acidic) and there is little to none strawberry taste to it, it's a big disappointment to me. 

What I love about this drink:

• Use real ingredients like organic mint leave and strawberry puree
• Limited ingredients
• Fresh mint flavors that does not taste like chewing gum or toothpaste

What I don't love about this drink:

• 44g of sugar per 16 oz bottle (Coke has 39 g of sugar per 12 oz, which translate to 52g of suger per 16 oz) 
• The taste

Cheers!
