Enjoy this special guest post by the Hubz!
To say that I am a coconut juice addict would be somewhat of an understatement. While I initially wasn’t a fan of it, I’ve grown to love it and just can’t get enough. I’m sure Lindsay has grown tired of me getting excited and wanting to try any new brand I see at the grocery store. If there’s a sale, I need to stock up, if I see a new brand, I need to buy it. I love that it is sweet enough without any extra added sugars or other junk and that it is light enough to be refreshing and not make you feel bloated. It’s also super hydrating and full of electrolytes (which makes it a much better choice than all those *-ade sport drinks)
After trying out many different brands, my “go-to” has definitely become Amy and Brian All Natural Coconut Juice (in the tall cans of course!). So, naturally, I was pretty excited when they sent Lindsay samples of each of their flavors.
I’ll give my review of each below:
- Amy & Brian All Natural Coconut Juice – This is the plain, pulp-free version and was definitely my favorite. As I mentioned, it’s additive and preservative free with just one ingredient…young coconut juice. This is a light, refreshing drink. Sweet enough, but not too sweet.
- Amy & Brian All Natural Coconut Juice w/ Pulp – Flavor wise, this drink is the exact same as the regular coconut juice. If you are not uncomfortable at the thought of pulp in your drinks, then by all means give this one a shot. The coconut pieces are small enough that you can swallow them with the drink without worrying about choking, but big enough that if you wanted to eat the coconut, you could. The one complaint I have about the pulp is that a few of the pieces towards the bottom of the cans were kind of woody.
- Amy & Brian All Natural Coconut Juice w/ Lime – Again, this drink keeps with the very pure nature of these drinks with the only added ingredient being lime juice. I wasn’t a huge fan of the flavour that the lime brought to the drink. It was a little too tart and overpowering for me. That said, if a strong lime flavor is something you like, I would definitely give this a try.

This sounds awesome. I think I needed some of this after my workout. 🙁
I learned something realy interesting ont heir website: “It absorbs into the body quickly because it resembles plasma in its salt concentration” I totally did not know this. Very eye opening.

I am a coconut lover from way back – I’m excited to try Amy & Brian coconut juice. I learned that coconut juice is the water that sloshes around in the inside of coconuts, not to be confused with the higher calorie coconut milk which is made from the pulp. Coconut juice can be compared to grapefruit juice in low-cal status. : )

I think the Lime would be good – interesting I always thought of Coconut Juice as being high in sugar – looks like a more health option now than many other beverages.
So I decided I’d better “get with it” and join twitter. So, I did, and am now following you on twitter.

Wow! I learned it has more potassium per equivalent serving than a banana. Who knew?
I had no idea that coconut juice is considered nature’s sports drink. Maybe I should try it sometime. I am always so blah after a work out. Also, good to hear that it has less sugar, sodium, and calories than other things. I will definitely be trying to some time.

Wow, I had no idea coconut juice is isotonic and has potassium and other electrolytes. I take a diuretic and my potassium tends to get low, especially at night. It would be great to relieve my leg cramps at bedtime with Amy & Brian Coconut Juice since it doesn’t contain the added sugars.
