Our advice: Make it a priority to ramp up your coconut water intake in 2020. Low in calories, rich in electrolytes, and loaded with more potassium than a banana per serving (sayonara, Mr. Hangover!), coconut water is one hell of a super hydrating beverage. A healthier alternative to many sugar-loaded sports drinks, many athletes sip coconut water pre- or post-workout to replenish valuable electrolytes.
With so many different options to choose from, we thought we'd help make your decision a bit easier and rank our favorite coconut water brands based on taste, sourcing, and ingredient list. Here are our current favorite coconut water brands.
Non-GMO, naturally fat-, gluten-, and cholesterol-free, and made without any added sugars, ZICO is a tasty coconut water brand with a clean and crisp flavor. Less sweet than some other brands on this list, this coco water tastes super delicious sipped chilled after a hard workout.
Arguably the most ubiquitous brand of coconut water available online and on most major store shelves, Vita Coco Pure Coconut Water has a much sweeter taste than some of the other raw brands on this list due to the addition of natural fruit sugar and vitamin C in its ingredient list.
Sourced from Thailand and never thermally pasteurized, we're obsessed with the fresh, clean taste of this organic coconut water from Harmless Harvest, making it our pick for Editor's Chouce.
Fun fact: This coco water has a slight pinkish hue since the water turns pink when the antioxidants hit the light.
Purity Organic is made from 100% organic coconut water with no added preservatives or sweeteners. Packed with five essential electrolytes, this coconut water is refreshing, with a slightly sweet taste.
Can't decide between sparkling water or coconut water? Neither can we! Luckily, Vita Coco recently rolled out these delicious Sparkling Coconut Waters in tasty flavors like Raspberry Lime (our favorite), Lemon Ginger, and Grapefruit.
While you're at it, check out their new Pressed Coconut Water line for all the benefits of coconut water plus a boost of coconutty flavor.
The can might read "coconut juice," but don't be deterred — this one is made entirely from non-GMO coconut water from Thailand. Significantly cheaper than some other brands on this list and packed with a super nutty and rich flavor, we love the taste of Amy & Brian's.
Made with natural coconut water and coconut pulp, Taste Nirvana is as close as it gets to the coconut water you might imagine buying from a roadside vendor or at a beach hut in the tropics.
If you can get past the somewhat chewy texture of a bit of pulp in your beverage, you'll enjoy Taste Nirvana's remarkably sweet flavor.
A newer coconut water brand to hit shelves, U.K.-based brand Rebel Kitchen sources their coconuts from small farms in the Philippines, and it uses non-thermal, high-pressure processing (or HPP for short) to pasteurize the product without harmful heat. We love the super nutty, savory, and crisp flavor of Rebel Kitchen.
