Coconut Water (Canned or Bottled) (1 Can)

Choose unsweetened coconut water with no added sugar, syrups, or fruit juice concentrates; compare labels and select the lowest total carbohydrate option.

Reduce the portion: try 120–180 mL (4–6 oz) rather than a full bottle or can, and drink it slowly.

Dilute coconut water with plain sparkling or still water to lower the carbohydrate amount per serving.

Have it alongside a protein- and fiber-containing snack, such as plain Greek yogurt with chia seeds or a small handful of almonds, instead of drinking it by itself.

Avoid drinking it when fasting or immediately after other carbohydrate-heavy foods; include it as part of a balanced meal instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
