Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Coconut Water Taste Like In a Smoothie?
Coconut water has a very mild taste of coconut, when you combine it with other ingredients, you can barely tell it’s there. If you do like the coconut taste, then I recommend that you use ingredients quite neutral in flavor, so you are able to taste the coconut coming through better.
Which Coconut Water Is Best For Smoothies?
When you shop for coconut water, make sure you choose 100% pure coconut water. Avoid buying sweetened coconut water, or coconut water with preservatives or other additives. The cleaner you can get it, the better.
Is Coconut Water Or Almond Milk Better For Smoothies?
The answer will depend on what type of smoothie you are making. If you want to make a green smoothie, then it’s preferred to use coconut water, as it’s more mild and light in taste, and it won’t overwhelm the green ingredients. However, if you are making a banana smoothie for example, then it’s best to use almond milk, as it provides more creaminess. It totally depends on the type of smoothies you are making.
Is Coconut Water Healthier Than Juice?
The answer will depend. If we are talking homemade juice with no added sugar then the juice will be healthier, because it contains more nutrients. But, if we are talking about shop-bought juice full of sugar and made from concentrates, then coconut water would be healthier.
10/10 as usual! Thank you so much for this <3
