Valentine’s Day can be a lonely time when you are single. Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday is an absolute killer. Luckily for me I had a date with a bottle of wine and my TV remote but then there was a knock on the door… I hadn’t been forgotten after all!
I knew from the size of the box it wasn’t David Beckham wrapped up in a bow but it was lovely all the same. The lovely people at Vita Coco had sent me a little surprise to brighten up my lonely evening.
I’ve never been a huge fan of coconut water but I love the story behind Vita Coco. Never made from concentrate it takes no longer than 72 hours to be picked, cracked, cleaned, flash pasturised and poured into the cartons you can see above. Sometimes fruit puree is added but that is it. Fairly clean and definitely natural. Studies say coconut water is more hydrating than regular water and I am a bit dubious of this statement although I do feel more hydrated after drinking this. The taste of the natural with nothing added isn’t for me, it is a bit too tart and bitter for my liking. That said I really enjoyed the lemonade version as it was really refreshing with a bit of zing to take away the bitterness.
Massive thanks to the Vita Coco team for hydrating my Valentine’s night, you can buy the 330ml cartons in most supermarkets and they are a great size to try.
