Coconut Water (Real) (1 Serving) and Mango (1 Mango)

Reduce the mango portion and use more ice or water in the drink; avoid adding juice, sugar, honey, or sweetened yogurt.

Have coconut water and mango alongside protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or a small handful of almonds or walnuts.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to a mango smoothie, and let it sit briefly so the fiber thickens the drink.

Prefer whole mango pieces rather than blended mango, and sip coconut water slowly instead of drinking a large serving quickly.

Avoid having this combination on an empty stomach; include it after or with a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein.

Choose a smaller serving of coconut water and pair it with lower-sugar fruit such as berries, kiwi, apple, pear, or orange.
