Put the Lime in the Coconut…
My skin was extremely dry and dehydrated after Hayden was born so I had a facial. The beauty technician told me that coconut water would hydrate my skin, and it has. Now that it is (insanely) hot, I find it especially refreshing and I love the taste. It isn't high in calories and has no caffeine. It is a great way to stay hydrated as it contains a ton of electrolytes, like potassium, that your body needs in the summer. I'm not ashamed to say that I have probably been drinking it every day since this heat wave started!
There are a lot of different brands out there now, some organic, some not. They also make flavored kinds, sweetened with tangerine and other fruits; these are slightly higher in sugar and calories but make for a delicious (and still nutritious) summer treat that transports you to the tropics.
I am about to put on my (non-toxic) sunscreen, wide-brimmed hat and grab a cold coconut water to go. You should too!
