Coconut powder

I'm not familiar with that product. But many alternatives can be found at grocery stores and health food stores. No so much a health supplement store.

 

Redundant? Perhaps a little. But I like them both. For separate reasons.

 

it's not redundant. And if you're buying coconut water from a grocery store make sure you get the right kind. You don't want anything in a tetra pack sitting on a shelf. Those have been processed using heat which kills most of the beneficial stuff in it. The best stuff will be found in the refrigerated section. There's only a few brands out there. I use harmless harvest. Trader Joe's has their own brand that is pressure pasteurized. Coot has been recommending the Kirkland brand at Costco lately.

fresh is always best. but if you want powder you are looking for coconut water powder.

That's the same powder I use scoob. Good stuff.

 

its kinda pricy though, i actually find it cheaper to buy fresh thai coconuts. i can get them for like 3$ each and most contain between 1.5 and 2 cups, i just had one earlier it filled a half liter glass almost full! you cant compare the flavor either, if you like to drink them.

 

I only use them for hydration once in a while before endurance events. But taste is gross. Lol

 

Freeze dried coconut powder is what you want.

 

I think they're comparable. Do what's best for you. I like the convenience and shelf life. And I'm reconstituting my aloe powder anyway. So it's really your preference.

 

They both work, but yes the powder form just lasts longer.

 

This is the brand of Aloe Vera juice that I occasionally pick up from a health food store (45 mins away). "Lily of the Desert".





And yes, freeze dried coconut water is what you want unless you can get the green coconuts like Scooby does.
