A Frosty Summertime Treat & a Giveaway!


My husband makes amazing beverages (iced tea, iced coffee, smoothies, etc.), and this may be my favorite.

Recipe:
  • 11 ounces of coconut water (preferably Vita Coco)
  • approximately 4 cups of watermelon cut into chunks
  • ice
  • Blend and enjoy!

This recipe makes 2 - 4 servings.

If you have not tried coconut water, you should. It has more electrolytes than leading sports drinks with 15 times the potassium, has more potassium than two bananas, and is 100% natural! Our favorite brand is Vita Coco because it has the best flavor.

After drafting this post, I decided to contact Vita Coco to see if they would be interested in letting one of my readers try their product, and they said yes! So, if you would like to try Vita Coco, leave me a comment! This giveaway starts right now and will continue until Wednesday, August 19th at noon.

Edited to add: You will receive a mixed case (300 ml) of Vita Coco.

For additional entries:
  • follow me and let me know in a separate comment
  • subscribe via email to my blog and let me know in a comment
  • blog about this giveaway and send me a link to your blog post
I simply love the product and I'm sure you will too.

I will have to search the grocery store for Vita Coco! Thanks! Hubby and I use coconut cream (the stuff to make pina coladas) in our coffee instead of sugar!

I use coconut oil in a few things lately instead of regular vegetable oil--I'd love to give this a try too!

I would love to try this. I use coconut milk instead of milk because I am not able to have dairy while I am nursing.

Mmm sounds yummy

Sounds great. Can't wait to try it. Not sure if I could find the coconut water in our little town. I may need to go to Fargo. Hopefully I win, then I won't have to worry.

I never thought to add Coconut Milk in What a FAB idea!

That sounds delicious, and I have NEVER tried coconut juice/ water. I have heard all those great things about it though, so I would love to try it.
Thanks for the giveaway!!

You made it sound so yummy that I want to try it. I'll be on the lookout for this coconut water - are you buying it in a regular supermarket? Of course, I wouldn't mind to win it in a giveaway too!

Interesting -- we have never tried coconut water. We eat coconut milk based ice cream because of our son's allergies though and it is DELICIOUS. I'd love to try the water.

I follow you.
