Los Angeles: Going Coconuts

The chances of me ever climbing a palm, hacking off an immature green coconut, puncturing it and guzzling the pure water inside are about as likely as me ever becoming a contestant on “Survivor” or being beamed into an episode of “Lost”.
But the chance to enjoy a refreshing glass of pure coconut water is just a Tetra Pak away with my recent discovery of O.N.E. natural coconut water. The company that makes O.N.E. is based here in Los Angeles and while I had seen the boxes at yoga studios and at Whole Foods, it wasn’t until I attended the Yoga Walk in Los Angels that I got a taste. And it’s delicious.
The subtle coconut flavor is refreshing. Not to mention that this Brazilian import is fat-free, packed with potassium and electrolytes without any added sugars, dyes or preservatives. It basically does what Gatorade does without the high fructose corn syrup -- a perfect hydration choice after a strenuous vinyasa class.
And when it comes to Ayurvedic eating, coconut is a cooling food apt at calming an over-heated system, whether it’s from a pitta flare-up or just a hot, sweaty day. Coconut water is also a great base for smoothies, and mixes well with any other fruit juices. So go ahead, go coconuts.
