O.N.E Coconut Water Review/Giveaway!
Hi All! I'm pretty excited about this O.N.E. Coconut Water review and giveaway. I've heard the buzz of coconut water around the triathlon arena and blogosphere for a lil' over a year now, but never got around to dabbling with it myself until ~2 months ago. But I'll be honest, the first time I tried coconut water it was from a different company, and the stuff was h.a.r.d. for me to swallow. I couldn't really drink it with out sorta wincing, and was bummed to not be on the 'Coconut Water is the Bomb' bandwagon.
Well, all that changed ~1 month ago when a friend gave me an extra O.N.E of hers. I sucked it down easily and I got it. I could definitely drink this (I don't know why...maybe the coconuts are better in Brazil?), it tasted really good, and I felt the benefits almost immediately. yes. really. For lack of a better phrase, I immediately felt hydrated and balanced. Almost like I was given a 'Get Outta Jail Free' card or something. wow.
But now let me get outta the way and let these lil' photo tabs do the O.N.E. talkin':
This is a cool one. ONE has 670 mg of Potassium (electrolytes) vs 39 from a Sports Drink. This stat doesn't show ONE has only 60 calories, where most Sports Drinks have ~150-300:
Now, this next one:
And I can also personally attest to the latter, as I was feeling the affects of a friend's 40th Birthday Bash, so next morning had a ONE Coconut Water, and virtually felt like a new woman. really? Again, another Get Outta Jail Free Card. Couldn't believe it...(and why didn't I know about this in my college days!)
But do you still need just a lil' more convincing? How about this:
Yes, you read it here. Coconut water was used when plasma was unavailable for blood transfusions during the Vietnam War as it is so compatible with human blood. Now I know our training and racing aren't exactly true battlefield situations, but it can feel a teeny bit like it eh? So Now..you must sign up.
After trying the ONE, feeling it's results, and learning more about all of it's benefits, I was eager so spread the O.N.E Coconut Water love. So I reached out and they have been generous enough to allow me to host a fabulous Giveaway for...

And I'm totally following you, but I think you knew that already. :-)
Also I love O.N.E. and it's too expensive for me to afford regularly... if there's ever a giveaway I've really, REALLY wanted to win, it's this one!! Crossing my fingers...
I started buying O.N.E products for me and one day my 3yr old wanted a taste. His favorite? Coconut Water w/a splash of pineapple. I feel good giving these to him and my two older children. I feel even better when we're at the market and all three kids go right past the sugary drinks and ask me to buy O.N.E. products. :)

Do you remember the brand that you didn't like? I'm getting ready to order a case from our co-op and not sure if I'll like it.
I love coconut water... I usually get the flavored kind though.
