Coconut Water (1 Cup) and Coconut Water (1 Cup)

Choose plain, unsweetened coconut water and avoid varieties with added sugar or juice concentrates.

Reduce the serving size, such as having 120–180 mL instead of a full large bottle, and sip it slowly.

Have coconut water with a protein- and fiber-containing snack, such as plain Greek yogurt with chia seeds.

Pair it with a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios rather than drinking it alone.

Drink it after or alongside a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after drinking it, if appropriate for you.
