Okay, it's not really a food, but that doesn't mean it's not good for you! Coconut juice is made from young, green coconuts, also called water coconuts. It has about 75 calories per cup, no added sugar or flavors and is a great source of potassium and magnesium.
It is perfect for your post-workout pick-me-up. Why? Coconut juice a natural isotonic beverage — meaning it makes water available to your tissues, which is just what the body needs after being depleted during a hard workout. It's natural Gatorade!
You can buy it canned or crack a water coconut yourself. Though, because I'm no good with large knives, I prefer the Amy & Brian brand.
p.s.: Some brands call it coconut water — it's all the same thing.
